The winning piece of Miss Owlet's checkmate. The road is long and arduous yet the journey can be occasionally sweet. It has been 3 years since she started playing and the victories she had were few but sweet.
She played unexpectedly well considering her opponent's chess rating is 1001 whilst hers is around 600. By the end of this tournament, she'll be over the moon with her latest rating leap.
David and Goliath last night
It has always been daunting to face the many strong players in the roomful of men but she persevered in part due to my persistence. Soon enough this may not be her sport anymore as she fills her time with more girlish activities. Chess is a bloke's game after all.
