Day 28: Chess With the O.C.

Around midday I ran into the Oxford Cleric. We decided to strike up a conversation and spend time with one another. This time I allowed him to pick the activity. Unfortunately for me, there was no dancing involved. We played an intellectual game of chess. This time it was the Oxford Cleric teaching me. Chess included numerous small pieces in different shapes. Each piece could move in certain patterns across a game board. The point of the game was to capture and wipe out the opponents King. The Oxford Cleric spent a long time explaining the rules and tips of the game to me. After I learned all of the rules, we played a few games. He beat me every single time, but in return I learned some of his secrets. He taught me how to use the castle to your advantage. I even learned how to put my opponent at check mate in four moves! So after losing several times to the Oxford Cleric, I challenged Sir Knightlyhood. With my clever new tricks I was able to crush him.

Advice for the day: Learn something every day.
