I am a firm believer that people are often the most interesting when they do something unexpected. My interest was piqued when I found out he was a wonderfully talented chess player. No, not because it’s so hard to find good players nowadays but because of how much passion for the game he had. He was so eager to start playing that he had even bought a chess table for his living room.
I knew I would have to hold him back in order not to get too competitive but that didn’t stop me from enjoying the game. I could tell it wasn’t just about beating someone else – it seemed like something more than trying to show off or feel smart, and I wanted to know what he thought when he played this game. It turns out we’re both fans of blitzing each other with tactics from all parts of the board! We couldn’t help but be completely immersed as soon as our conversation veered towards battling on the 64 squares.
We played several games over tea and cookies before deciding who won by one point margin.
We made a plan to get together and play again soon. I’m so happy he found something that brings him such joy, and it’s easy to see how this game can quickly become an addiction with all the tactics involved! As long as we’re both being equally competitive, then there are no losers in chess – just winners of different flavors.
It was the little things about him that really got me. He’s a chess player and he loves it, too!
This game is addicting with all its tactics involved. There are no losers as long as we’re both being equally competitive – just winners of different flavors.”}

Raccoon’s pace is slow but deliberate, like they’re always on guard for any potential predators lurking nearby. However when it comes time for them to eat their meal, raccoons are anything but shy with food! This video shows an up-close look at one such hungry raccoon as she feasts on dead fish washed ashore by the tide:
The next day, I went to the library and found a couple of books about chess. One was called “Bobby Fischer Teaches Chess” and the other one was titled “Chess: A New Approach.” The first book had some of his thoughts on why he’s so good at it; for example, when he explained that in chess you have to use your mind as well as your intuition (I read this in an article by Bobby Fisher), my interest was piqued because I knew what he meant! It made me want to learn more about how Bobby felt playing chess which is something I could never do with football or soccer!
The second book I found was really interesting because it had a lot of different chess strategies that could be applied to any level. It seems like something worth learning! Bobby Fischer is my hero in the world of chess as well as in other areas, so maybe one day if I get good enough at playing then he’ll notice me too and we can play together–maybe even on his favorite board size; after all, “He who plays first wins” (Bobby Fisher)!
In summary: My interest was piqued when I found out he was a wonderfully talented chess player. In this blog post you will read about how enthusiastic I am for learning more about the game and what makes him such an excellent player while also reading quotes from Bobby Fischer himself.
