Chess club

Caleb has been playing a lot of chess at home, but he hasn't been to chess club for awhile. He went last night and came home grinning from ear to ear. Matthew is one of the top chess players and Caleb had never beat him before. Last night Caleb challenged him--and won! Matthew challenged Caleb back to regain his board position, and Caleb beat him again! He then beat Ivy, a girl that is also very good. He got the attention of the chess teacher/coach. She told him he'd definitely be on the team that goes to state and nationals next year. As for me, I'm learning a lot too--about losing graciously, because Elisa is about the only one I can beat anymore.
