Daddy: Bobby! Come here, look what I got you!
Bobby: What is that?
Daddy: A chess board! Daddy is going to teach you
how to play!
Bobby: Cool!
Daddy: Ok, each player gets 16 pieces. You can
be the white ones and I’ll play with the
black pieces. Now in the front, you set up
the pawns. Those are the least valuable
pieces and can only move one space for-
ward. When you are about to capture an-
other piece, it can move one space diago-
nally.
Bobby: What about all these other pieces?
Daddy: See this one that looks like a tower? It’s
called the rook. The one with the tall hat
is called the bishop. See this little horsey?
This is called the knight, it’s a very important
piece so it’s best to not let your opponent
capture it.
Bobby: And these two? They are husband and
wife?
Daddy: That’s right! That’s the queen and that’s the
king. If the other player captures your king,
he will say ”Check Mate” and the game is
over! Doesn’t this sound fun?
Bobby: Nah! This is boring! I’m gonna go play Killer
Zombies on my PlayStation!
