This photo shows Charlie's first defeat of Rich at chess. Chess has become a bit of a craze at school, and Charlie is improving fast. So far he has managed to beat Rich twice, reach stalemate once, and demoralise Rich into conceding once. This gives him great pleasure. Yesterday he was devouring chess demonstrations on youtube while Rich nervously encouraged him to go and do something else. When there is no-one else around he will invite me to a "quick" game of chess. "What do you mean, quick?" I ask, and he grins wolfishly.

great work, Charlie. I had a good friend that beat me in 3 moves, so I know how demoralised Rich must feel!
