Sweetie, how was your day today?
Um, it was pretty good.
Yeah, did you have a good time in class? Learned anything new?
Uh, I actually went to the letter today and I kinda found something that I might wanna try.
Another hobby? So it's not banned anymore. No more dance class. What is it now?
Um, it's called chess.
Chess? Really? Huh. I never took you for a chess kinda gal. What made you wanna do chess?
Well, I guess there's not much that you know about me. And I seen the guys in the library today and they're chess players and they won, and I guess it just brought back a memory of my dad because he used to play it.
I'm sorry baby, I didn't mean to pry like that. I should have known that you have an interest in chess.
Um, you know, it's been like four years since the adoption and I'm trying really hard to build this relationship.
Let me look up some info on classes, um, and we will get you enrolled. Do you know of anyone that offers that kind of stuff? Or where the boys play?
Uh, yeah I actually do have the contact.
You do? Oh. Okay. Well, give it to me, I will come up.
Okay, Ilana.
Ilana. See, maybe we... I mean, you know, it's been four years. Do you think that you'll ever feel comfortable calling me mom?
I mean, I guess I can try.
I would seriously love if you tried. That would just make me so happy.
So, do you have that, do you have any contact info for the chess players that you saw?
Yeah, I do. It's actually in my phone. I'll just send it to you in a second.
Yeah, forward it to me and I will get that set up for you as soon as possible.
Really? Yeah, I think we should literally start this weekend.
Can we, I mean like today? Today? Yeah. Sure, we will start today.
Oh my gosh, thank you so much mom.
Was that, did I just hear what I think I heard?
Yeah, I... Can I hear it again?
Oh, come on. I just... Don't make a big deal out of it. Can you just call him and see if you could set it up for today and make me the happiest daughter in the world?
Of course, sweetie. I'm going to email him right now.
Okay, thank you. You're welcome, baby.
Hey, did you get that information?
Yeah, I have it right here and I'm going to call him right now.
Oh my god, yes, please, call him.
Hi, Mr. Rebel. My name's Elana. I was calling. My daughter gave me your contact info.
I'm interested in setting up some chess lessons for her. I heard you're like the grandmaster at chess.
What are you saying?
Yeah, actually, if you're available today, we would like to start today as soon as possible.
Yeah. Oh my god, yes.
Yeah, that'd be great. Okay, great. Thank you so much, Mr. Rebel. See you later. Bye.
Oh my gosh.
Okay, there is some good news and there is some bad news.
Okay. Okay. Yes.
Okay, there's no bad news. The good news is he is going to come today and he'll be here in like an hour.
Oh my god, that's so exciting. Thank you so much.
You're welcome.
You're the best mom.
Sweetie. Thank you.
Hi.
Hey, I'm Nicky. You want to learn chess, right?
Yes. I'm Ilana. Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you, too.
So, actually, it's not me. It's my daughter and she is so excited to meet you.
Yeah, are they all? Where is she? She's inside?
Yeah, I'll bring you right in. You can meet her and we'll go over everything.
Alright, sounds good.
So, welcome to my home, living room over there. If you need to use the restroom, it's right through that door
and there's my daughter, sweetie. Look who it is.
Oh my god. Hi, how are you?
It's Mr. Rebel.
Oh, Grandmaster Rebel, but it's off-key.
Grandmaster Rebel.
We got a lot of ground to cover, young lady. So, I hope you're ready.
Are you excited? Let's get started.
So, yeah, this is my daughter. Hello, Mr. Dumbel.
So, looks like I'm going to be training you. I guess I'll train you both today, yeah?
Yeah, we're both going to be learning a good way for us to bond. Little bonding experience with my daughter here.
Right on, right on. I think I actually saw you at the library.
Yeah, after the movie.
That's right. Well, pleasure to see you again. So, as you may know, I am 2400 ELO up on the ladder.
So, I'd like to say, I'd like to say I'm pretty good. So, doโ
I think that's pretty good, right?
It's pretty good.
Okay.
So, why don't we sit down and get this started, yeah?
Yeah, let's do it.
Come on.
I'm so excited to learn today.
I am, too. You should be. You like to do it.
I'm excited, too. You know, thank you again for having me come here.
I just want to remind y'all I am a Grandmaster, and, you know, I earned it.
It took me a long time to get there, but, you know, I did it, and, you know, ever since then,
I'm still learning. I'm still getting better.
So, you know, I want to help you both learn, and, you know, get good at chess, so,
are you both ready to learn?
Yeah.
We're ready.
So excited.
That's excellent.
Very excited.
So, before we actually start playing, I'm going to teach y'all the basics.
Okay.
So, as far as basics are concerned, you see those little pieces up in front?
These up here?
Yep.
Okay.
Those are pawns. Now, they may not look like it, but they are actually some of the most valuable pieces
that you have at your disposal.
Now, granted, they are pawns, so, oftentimes, you're going to find yourself sacrificing them.
However, one very interesting technique about them is that if you get a pawn to the other side of the board,
you can decide for it to be any other type of piece you want it to be.
It doesn't matter which piece?
It doesn't, but I typically recommend you make it your queen.
And it is if you've already lost your queen, because here's the thing about your queen,
your queen has virtually no limits.
She can go anywhere on the board in any which direction.
Yeah. So...
So, what if you lose your queen?
Then, you lose your queen. Hopefully, you can get a pawn on the other side of the board.
So, the goal is to get your pawn to the other side of the board?
No. The goal is to get the king in checkmate.
Checkmate is when you have your king in a certain spot where any move it makes will face certain death from the other player.
Okay... so... what does that even mean?
Does that mean the other player loses? Or wins?
If you're in checkmate, you lose.
Don't worry. We're gonna go over each piece, piece by piece.
It doesn't have to be complicated. You don't have to get overwhelmed.
Man, this is kind of difficult. Right?
Yeah, but I'm so excited to learn.
Are you picking up on it? I'm like really confused.
I mean... Ladies, it's not that complicated.
You know, virtually all the pieces are valuable.
The pawns are valuable. The king, the queen. They're all important for you.
So, I mean, you just want to know how they move.
And that's the most important thing, so that you know how to play.
Okay. So, what... tell me more about the king. How... you said, is he more important or less important than the other players?
Well, that's just the goal of the game. That's just the rules.
You know, you lose. If you can't move your king, you lose.
Then you lose.
Yeah, mom, you can just... you can learn. We could pick it up together.
We could keep practicing.
Okay. Yeah. If you're excited, I'm excited, honey.
I'm so excited.
I'm in it to win it. Let's do it.
Let me show you how the pawn moves, alright?
Yeah, explain that to me some more. I'm just a little lost here.
So, let's pretend I'm the pawn, alright?
Okay. Sorry.
So, the pawn can only move one space forward at a time.
Unless it's the first move of that pawn. Then it can move two spaces forward.
But the way that the pawn attacks is a little different. The pawn can't attack straight forward.
Okay.
So, like...
So, only like, sideways?
Exactly. So, imagine this is the pawn, right?
Okay.
I can't... if I go forward, nothing's gonna happen. But if I need to attack, I have to go at an angle.
To the side?
Yeah, like this.
Oh.
You understand?
Not directly to the side, but at an angle.
So, forward and side.
So, you're saying that all I need to do is have two pawns to protect my king to win?
Not quite. Pawns won't really do the trick unless you're using the pawns to get to the other side.
What you'd want to protect in your king, if anything, would be the rooks.
Now, this is the rook.
Oh, this is the rook.
Correct. This is the rook.
The rook is a very powerful piece. It's not too different than the queen itself.
Because the rook can go straight forward at any distance, side to side in distance.
However, unlike the queen, it can't go at an angle. It's just straightforward. It's straight like that.
So, it can go like this.
But at any distance. And side to side.
So, I can do that.
Correct. And it can attack any one of those ways.
Forward, back.
Okay, it's starting to click a little bit in my head.
Now, if you're trying to go diagonally, though, you're going to need this bad boy right here. The bishop.
This? This is the bishop?
So, the bishop can only go diagonally.
Only diagonally.
Only diagonally. So, like that.
And you can actually tell by these little carvings that a lot of the bishops have. It's sort of diagonal.
Hm.
You understand?
I'm getting there.
Okay. Well, there's one other piece besides the royalty that I would like to tell you about.
Mm hmm.
And that's the knight. This one's my favorite.
So, the knight goes three forward and one over.
So, across the leg.
One, two, three. One, two.
One, two?
Or two and three. It doesn't have to be in that order.
One, two, one, two, three.
You got it. You're learning quickly.
Oh my gosh.
That's great.
This is such a good bonding experience for us. I feel like this is going to be such a good thing for us.
I mean, I think you're both learning really quickly. Clearly.
I was a little confused at first, but I think it's starting to come together just a little bit.
So, what was this one called again?
So, that one's the knight.
Why are you so quiet over there, sweetie?
Because, mom, I'm getting it.
You are?
I'm still a little confused.
What are you going to tell me?
Okay, well you need the two rows to protect your king to win the game.
Exactly. I mean, it's definitely a great strategy.
Wow! Sweetie, you really are picking up on this.
She's a quick learner.
I guess so.
So, we've gone over all the pieces besides royalty.
We're going to talk about royalty a little more now, okay?
And that's the king and the queen.
These two?
Those two. That's correct.
Okay.
So, the king.
This one's the king?
It moves a lot like the pawn.
Okay.
It takes one step forward.
So, it can go like this?
See, one forward, one to the side, one back.
But unlike a pawn, it can attack from any direction.
Okay.
But it's only one space.
I think I'm getting it.
Well, I mean, you would have to have this pawn out of the way.
Oh.
You can't just, you know.
You can't jump over.
You can't jump over, unfortunately. No, you can't.
Oh, okay.
Well, let's see you both make some moves.
Let's see you play a little bit now.
Nice.
All right, all right.
Starting to get it.
Very good.
That was a good move.
So, we would move this two spaces up so we can get this guy out.
And now he can move diagonally.
Of course, we'll have to move this guy again if we want to go out this way.
And then this guy can go here.
Correct.
Now, if you had your king over there, your king would be in trouble.
And that's check.
Does that mean that we won the game if we got your king?
Well, I mean, the opponent has to have the chance to move the king.
And if the king can't move anywhere, that isn't--
So, I can try to like get out of the way before she comes over here?
That's right. Exactly.
Like, I can move to the left, right?
You can.
Okay.
And then you said that these can go two forward, right?
Only on their first move.
Okay, so that's it.
That's it.
And then you can only move one forward.
And then this guy right here can go--
As far forward or as far left and right as you want.
Can I--
There you go. Yep.
You just took out the bishop.
Two moves forward. Very good.
So, this one's like gone.
Oh, yeah, he's done. Out of there.
Bring it back.
Mm-hmm.
And here.
Good, good.
All right. That was a good move.
You're up.
Excellent.
Very good position.
Good.
All right. Yeah.
Taking it out of harm's way.
Okay.
Well, see, that wasn't wise, 'cause now she could take you out.
Like this, like that.
Very good. Exactly.
Okay, so can I go here?
Mm-hmm.
Okay.
Better get that king out of the way of the queen.
This?
Otherwise, he's toast. Uh-huh.
Oh. Okay.
Uh-uh.
No?
Pawn's gonna get you. Nope. Straight.
There you go.
Okay. So what does that mean? I lost that piece?
You lost that piece.
Okay.
Oh, no, I can't go there, because then that one can get it.
Mm-hmm.
Okay, so forward?
Yeah, that's perfect.
Mm-hmm.
Okay, blue?
Only if you're going from here. You gotta go at the naggle.
Oh, so this one stays, but I could have, like, did that with that one.
It's okay. It's okay.
Okay.
Why don't you go ahead and take your pants off?
Okay. So I move this one.
That's better, yeah. Okay.
Hmm.
Okay.
And then just right there.
And maybe I wanna go there to block her?
Mm-hmm.
Yeah? Okay.
Yeah, there you go.
Okay.
And then...
Can this one go here?
Oh, oh, oh, oh, no. Straight, not diagonal.
Hmm. Okay, so then I'm just gonna do that one there.
Hmm. So...
Oh, that's you. Can I move this one forward and kick this out?
Absolutely.
Yeah, okay.
Why do I feel like I'm not getting the hang of it anymore?
You're getting it. You're learning.
Okay. It's okay.
This one can go all the way up, but then that one can take it, so I'll just go there.
Yeah, that's right.
I think it's your turn.
Mm-hmm.
Okay, there you go.
Okay.
I'm gonna block you, I guess.
Okay.
I wouldn't...
Your king is right next to the queen.
See, and that's how you'll lose.
Wait, she could go diagonal like that?
Yeah.
Okay.
I just move this here.
Wait, that was her king, so don't do that one.
Mm-hmm.
Um...
Maybe I'll go that one.
Oh, shit.
Can this go diagonal?
Which one is it?
Nope, only straight.
You need to focus. Get your head back in the game.
Okay, so I'll go there.
Mm-hmm.
And can I boot her?
Yes, you can.
Yeah.
Oh, I wish I had another piece.
I knew that king had got you.
Don't get mad just because I'm winning.
So I'll go there.
Okay, I'm gonna go here.
Mm-hmm.
And then I'll just move that there.
And I'm gonna knock this one out.
I don't think you're paying attention anymore.
I'm paying attention, I promise.
Okay.
Mmm.
Okay.
Um, I'll just move that one there.
Wait, can the king go diagonal?
Yeah, balling in the face.
Yeah!
Another piece gone.
Another piece gone.
I think I'm getting the hang of this.
Um...
I'm definitely learning.
Can this one go sideways?
Nope, only diagonal.
So I'll go up here.
Okay.
So he was here, so can I take that one?
Mm-hmm.
You can go two?
Only one with the king.
Uh...
Okay, so they're done.
And then I'll go that way.
Oh, you know what?
That's my alarm.
I have another appointment.
Already?
Afraid so, but...
What's that sound?
It's okay, no worries.
I can come back, same time next week.
And go over this a little more.
Actually, I'll email you.
I would like to have you back sooner if that is okay.
Yeah, sure.
I feel like we have a lot more learning to do.
Yeah, just shoot me an email.
I want to see what my message looks like.
Okay.
Yeah, let's do that.
Sure.
Let's do that.
Thank you so much.
Thank you.
I feel like I'm starting to get the hang of it.
Um...
Okay, I'm gonna...
I'm just gonna start bringing this one up.
These, you guys, are yours.
Diagonal, right?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Oh, no.
Hi.
Um...
Hi.
Hey.
Welcome back.
Thank you.
So, have you learned everything?
I actually think we forgot most of it.
Have you been practicing with my chest for a little bit for you?
We tried.
We tried, but after you left, didn't remember anything.
It's okay.
We'll go over it again, all right?
I think we're gonna have to start from the top.
Okay.
All right.
Well, why don't we start by having you move the pawn forward one space.
This is a pawn, right?
Mm-hmm.
Okay.
Now, how about you go ahead and move a pawn, any pawn, forward two spaces.
Okay.
Very good.
All right, why don't you go ahead and move one of your pawns just one space forward.
One, like that?
Perfect.
Okay.
You go ahead and you do the same thing, all right?
Okay.
So, you see what you did there?
Yeah.
That's how a pawn moves.
Okay.
So, you could do one space forward or two spaces forward for your first move with it.
So, go ahead, yep.
Put two spaces forward.
So, I just go here, or I can go down that way?
Correct, there you go.
Okay.
You know, it took me a while to have a 2400 elo, so it's not gonna happen overnight for
you all.
Like that?
And that's okay.
Perfect, yeah, there you go.
A 24 elo?
2400, yeah, it's a lot.
2400?
Mm-hmm.
What's an elo?
Well, we don't have to go across that bridge just yet, because you're not even in competition
ready.
It's okay, you will get to competition ready, but you're not.
Okay.
So, why don't you go ahead and I want you to move a different pawn, okay?
Okay.
Should I just do it one this time?
Yeah.
Okay.
Let's start.
Excellent.
So, that is how a pawn moves.
So, do you see what I'm talking about?
Do you see?
I see it, yes.
So, I want you to really examine the board, all right?
Okay.
Now, does it, like, how does it work if this one's back here and this one's up here?
Like, what would make me want to move it two times up?
Mm.
You asked some really great questions.
I'm going to answer all of them in just a moment.
In the meantime, I'm going to take some clothes off, it's getting a little hot in here, I
need to think.
Why don't you go ahead and help your mom get that skirt off, too, okay?
Okay.
Get a little more comfy.
Yeah.
Now, let's try that.
Okay, so-
What was that, Elo thing you were talking about?
That's right.
So, the Elo.
The thing about Elo is that's basically your competitive score.
Oh.
So, the more you win-
So, like, during the game?
Yeah, during the game.
So, the more you win-
The higher your Elo score goes up.
Oh.
So, like me, I'm a 2,400, so I'm almost as high as it gets, so I'm practically the doctor
of chess.
That's high as it goes, 24?
It can go higher.
But, you know, let me scoot you a little closer to your daughter, how about that?
So what number do you start at?
Well, I started around 600, and that was a long, long time ago.
Oh.
How long ago was that?
Years?
Months?
I was just a little one back then.
Uh-huh.
How young did you start?
Young.
Really?
Yeah, I can't even remember how old I was when I started.
What'd you say your score was now?
My score now is 2,400.
24, wow.
Yeah.
As I said, I'm pretty much a doctor.
A doctor?
Yeah.
In chess?
Yeah.
Oh my goodness.
Wow, you must be really good.
Oh, I mean, I tried.
But it took me a long time.
How long?
It took me years.
Years?
Yeah, years.
So, you started at 24.
Yeah.
So, I'm not too worried about it.
I would say in like two years' time.
I really can't believe how fun chess is to learn.
Yeah, baby.
Are you having a good time?
Yeah, it's a really good time.
I never thought I would enjoy chess so much.
I didn't either.
Well, I mean, we just got started.
So, you're gonna enjoy a lot more, I'm sure.
I knew when I seen you in the library you had to be the best teacher.
Well, I mean.
You really picked a good one, sweetie.
I am the grandmaster after all.
Yeah, you are.
So, what other questions did you have?
Can you go over, like, the pieces again?
Of course.
So, another piece we need to go over again is the rook.
So, why don't you go ahead and start moving the rook a little.
This one?
Yep.
One like that?
It could be more if you want it.
What about, like, one, two, three?
How many can I go?
No, can't do an L.
Just two.
Only the knight can do that.
That's the little horse guy you got over there.
One, two?
Yeah, that's fine.
And on your next move, you'd be able to move it all the way down there if you wanted.
On your next move.
I move it like this?
No, no, no, no, not like that.
Here, I'm gonna show you.
Okay.
You need to have it move back and forth like this.
Back and forth.
Back and forth?
Back and forth.
Back and forth?
Back and forth.
Or like back and forth.
So, the only piece that can make an L is this guy.
So, this one?
It can go like this.
Back and forth.
Back and forth.
Or, alternatively, it could also go side to side.
So, this side to that side.
So, like, side to side?
Side to side.
Yeah, perfect.
And as far as you want it to go until you hit something, you know?
So, I could just, like, keep going and going and going...
Going and going and going...
And then I could go in there.
So, have you gotten anything out of our session so far today?
I think so.
And what's that?
Just the rook, it protects everything.
Oh, there's the rook.
But have you gotten anything else out of this?
Um, I mean, not yet.
But we can keep, you know.
Well, I think you've bonded for a long time.
I mean, I think that we are getting some great mother and daughter bond.
Yeah.
I actually agree with that, yeah.
I don't think I've ever spent as much time with you.
Yeah, we never spend this much time together.
This is amazing.
Well, that's good.
I'm really happy for you both.
You look like you're having such a good time, sweetie.
I am, thank you.
But, you know, I want to maybe touch base a little more on the rook.
Because I know you two had some questions about that.
I know it's puzzling you both, it's okay, we're going to go over it, alright?
Okay, what about the rook?
What does the rook do?
So, the rook goes back and forth.
I really want to stress that.
Back and forth?
Mm-hmm.
This is the rook?
You see?
Yep, that's the rook.
This guy?
So, he goes back and forth.
So, like, up the board and down.
Up and down.
There you go.
Okay, so I can go as many as I want?
As many as you want, yeah.
Because you can just go all the way up the board, all the way down.
So, up and down.
Up and down.
There you go.
Okay.
So, that would be there.
Yep, move that rook, you got it.
Okay.
So, keep seeing where you could put that rook.
I moved it three, is that okay?
That's perfectly fine, yeah.
Just up and down, right?
Up and down.
Up and down.
One, you go ahead and move yours.
The rook?
Mm-hmm.
So, wouldn't I have to move the, that piece first?
I mean, you got to make sure there's nobody blocking them.
Okay, so we just go there for now.
Remember, the only piece that you can hop over other pieces is with the knight.
That's the horse.
Okay, I'm just going to move one of these guys this time.
Just space out of them.
Okay, and now, remember that bishop right there?
He's the one that's a little more pointy.
He looks like a taller pawn.
This guy.
There you go.
Yeah.
That guy can move sideways.
Oh, can he move forward too?
No, he can't.
I'm going to move right there.
Good, very good.
Okay, so I'll just move this two spots up.
Yeah.
Move it over to your mom some more.
Okay.
I'm going to go there.
Yeah, you can do that.
Awesome.
Okay, and what about this guy?
Straight?
Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
And I'm going to go here.
Good.
And then I'll do this guy right there.
Yep, one space.
That's good.
One space?
One space for the king.
Okay, and then this guy.
I'll just push up here.
I'm going to knock yours off.
How about there?
Was that a good move?
Wait, do that again?
I'll just go here.
I'll put this one up here.
Why are you acting like we have a competition right now?
It's not rivaled.
I mean, it is kind of a competition.
I mean, I guess.
I mean, that's the best way to learn.
This guy can go up.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, wait, that's castling.
We don't need to be doing that yet.
You're not there yet.
We'll get there, but...
What's a castle?
You don't have to worry about it yet, okay?
Okay, so I just...
Too advanced.
Should I just keep moving them up then?
Too advanced.
Oh.
Yeah.
Oh, she got me.
Can I go diagonal with this one?
You can go anywhere you want with the queen.
Oh, get her now.
There you go.
Oh, no.
Wait, this guy can go diagonal.
And get yours also.
Oh, well, that won't work.
That's the thing.
That would have been a check.
So whenever you're in check, you need to move your king.
Fuck.
So what's next?
Is it your turn or my turn?
I mean, I don't know what to do.
What do I do?
Well, you know when that happens, it's usually best to just take a breath, just sort of analyze
the board, and take your clothes off, because I think you need to get a little more comfortable.
Okay.
Yeah, just let's see what's going on over here.
I think you have to move the corner.
I really don't know, because I'm confused, too.
Just pick a seat and just give yourself a moment.
So look at the board.
You're not analyzing it.
And what do you see on the board?
I mean, I see all the pieces.
Uh-huh.
Can you remember the names of the pieces?
No.
Can you tell me one more time?
What pieces do you remember?
I know the king and the queen.
And then the small pieces that are always at the front, what are those?
Those are the pawns.
And the rut.
Remember the rut?
The what?
Raid.
The rook.
Rook?
Oh, the rook.
And then the watchtower.
See that one right there?
What else?
What's the horse called?
The horse is called the knight.
The knight?
Yeah.
And the other piece would be the bishop.
The bishop?
Remember, that's the one that looks like a tall pawn.
The tall pawn.
So those are all the pieces.
So you remember where the pawn goes?
The pawns go in the second row, right?
You remember how they move?
That's a pawn, right?
The little one on the left side?
Correct.
They just move up and down?
Not down.
No, not down.
Just forward.
One or two times.
Correct.
Two times for the first one.
What's the bishop do?
The bishop?
That one goes diagonally.
Oh, I forgot.
It's okay.
So, Nicky, the king protects the queen.
Or no, the rook protects the king.
Uh-huh, there you go.
And you should never lose your queen, right?
Or you lose the game?
No, if you lose the king, you lose the game.
You lose the king, you lose the game.
Oh, fuck.
Okay, I'm starting to get it.
I'm just still a little confused.
You'll get there.
It's okay.
But now, where does the rook go?
The rook protects the king.
No, no, no, where does it go?
How does it move?
It only moves up and down.
Up and down.
Up and down.
Up and down, yeah.
And like this.
And side to side.
And side to side.
That's right.
So that's the rook.
Yeah, that was the rook.
Yeah, I'll try to remember that.
Right?
Okay, the rook moves front to back, inside to side, and it protects the king.
There you go.
Okay.
What have you learned?
Exactly what my mom said, but especially because I think sharing a bond with the people that you love is awesome.
Aw, baby.
That is the best.
That's so sweet.
Very good.
Oh, yeah, family time is so great.
It's very important, family time.
I love that we're bonding.
I do too.
Chess is a great way to bond, family, that's for sure.
Really any kind of board game, but chess is the best.
I'm so glad we got to bond today, sweetie.
Bonding is sometimes best when you're learning.
Uh-huh.
Oh, yeah.
I'll check my knee, but why don't you go ahead and dog me so I can do it.
Wait, wait, wait.
Now, again.
Down, stop.
Okay.
Down, stop.
Oh, so close.
Oh, yeah.
Keep going, keep going.
Don't fucking stop.
Oh, yeah.
Come here.
Oh, you're so.
All right.
It's all good.
Nikki, what are you doing?
I'm filling in my schedule right now.
I did see you ask about Wednesday, so I'm going to go ahead and put that in.
Yeah, put us in, put us in.
Every day.
Wednesday, for sure.
Okay.
So that's all scheduled, ladies?
Hope you all learned something today.
I definitely did.
Yeah?
Well, I don't want to have to come here tomorrow, well not tomorrow, but the next time we have a session and have to start all over again.
Oh, yeah.
We'll try to remember.
Who's winning?
I think we're all winning.
So what about you? Have you learned anything?
Yeah, I learned that the rook protects the king.
Okay.
And that chess is great family bonding time.
You already said that, that's right.
Okay, that's good. Anything else?
We're going to go over castling the next lesson.
That's good, so you are listening. Very good.
That's perfect.
Well, I think this about concludes our session.
Wait, no, let me come real quick, please.
Alright.
Okay, that's good. Anything else?
Next time we're going to go over the castle.
That's good, so you are listening. Excellent.
I think that about concludes our session.
Okay, thank you.
No, let me come. I'm about to come.
Okay, just let me know what you do.
You coming?
Yeah.
Alright, now it's my turn.
You ready?
Yeah.
Give us that fucking cum.
Oh, checkmate.
Well, do you think we have what it takes to be grandmasters just like you?
I'm sure you will be in no time.
See you next time.
(whooshing)
