The king looked at Jackson. \u201cYou.\u201d He said. \u201cCan you show me how you pawns move on the board?\u201d Jackson looked a little nervous. \u201cYes.\u201d He said, as he walked two spaces forward on the checkered floor under him. The king looked impressed, \u201cIs that how they always move?\u201d Asked the king. \u201cNo your majesty. They only move two on their first move. Then, after that, they move one at at time.\u201d The king clapped. \u201cBravo. Yes, you\u2019re smart. Now, I will tell you how you will attack the opponent\u2019s pieces.\u201d Everyone looked at each other. Loki gave Jackson a look that said, are we really going to be fighting? The king continued, \u201cPawns capture diagonally. One space diagonal when another piece is diagonal from them. They only move forward, remember that.\u201d Jackson raised his hand. The king said \u201cyes?\u201d Jackson said, \u201cwhat happens when we get to the other side of the board? Do we turn around?\u201d The king smiled. \u201cno. You can promote yourself.\u201d Jackson said. \u201cWhat does that mean? What are we promoting ourselves into?\u201d The king smiled wildly. And, this time he simply said, \u201cyou\u2019ll see.\u201d So, Jackson didn\u2019t find any use in arguing, and said nothing. But, he really did want to know what will happen when he reaches the end of the board. He didn\u2019t want anything bad or unexpected to happen. Then, they heard a loud rumbling noise coming from behind them. Jackson turned around to see what had made the sound. He saw, in the distance, a large army. All the soldiers were completely white. In the front, were smaller men, who looked like children. The kings eyes went wide, \u201coh-no!\u201d He said. \u201cWe were not planning for an ambush!\u201d Jackson said, \u201cbut I don\u2019t know what to do!\u201d The king said, \u201cTRY!\u201d The other army took positions. The king said \u201call of you, to the front! I\u2019ll call the rest of the army!\u201d The king blew a big horn, and the rest of the black army came running over, taking their positions. \u201cWhite always goes first in chess.\u201d Said the king, just as a white pawn, on the opposite side of the board moved two spaces forward. \u201cNow it\u2019s our turn! Loki! Move two spaces forward, get in front of the opposing pawn.\u201d Loki looked worried. But, slowly, he took two steps forward, stopping in front of the other pawn. \u201cGreat!\u201d Said the king. \u201cNow it\u2019s whites turn.\u201d The game went by, slowly but steadily. Black couldn\u2019t afford to lose their precious new pawns. And Jackson, was very worried about what orders his king sent out, he wanted to live. \u201cYES!\u201d Shouted the king. \u201cWe captured their queen!\u201d The king came in slowly to Jackson and whispered him something. \u201cOn our next turn, go up and promote yourself into a queen. Then, we will have the opposite king in checkmate, I already have rook there, trapping the king.\u201d So, After the white knight had moved, Jackson stepped on to the last space on the board. He felt himself growing, he felt power. But just then, the king shouted, \u201cCHECKMATE!!!\u201d And the opposing king threw off his crown. They had beaten white, fair and square.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
