Danny decided to join the chess club at school. He liked the movie “In Search of Bobby Fisher.” He had me teach him how to play. On the first chess club meeting, the boys paired off and played each other.

First Danny played Shawn Kerner, another second-grader. Shawn got mad when Danny moved his King two squares and made his Castle hop over the King. “I’m castling,” Danny told Shawn. Shawn didn’t think there was such a thing. Danny proceeded to take all of Shawn’s men except for his King and then he won. Shawn hit Danny over his head with the chess board (Shawn’s) and it broke the board.

Then Danny played a fifth grader. They played three games and Danny won one of the games.

Nicole made all “A”s except for a “B” in P.E. because she could only do 9 gymnastic moves instead of 10 that it took to get an “A”. Danny made all “A”s.
