Checkmate

Dad and I found a giant chess set at Grandad's retirement village. I'm not sure how many people know this, but I love playing chess.

I'm not particularly good, but that doesn't really matter. I only ever play against Dad.

We have one rule: Neither of us are allowed to read any chess strategy books.

As a result, we are pretty even in skill level. We also always play the same color. I play black and Dad plays white. White gets the first move.

Round 1, I lost.

The next day we started out by stopping by this cafe called Decadence.

Quite decadent.

Refreshed and ready to go, I won.

Ha!
