Lifescouts: Chess

Hi!

I'm starting to realize that the last few lifescouts posts about how I got certain badges are very interesting. Or at least in my opinion. Like my stories don't have any interesting twist or funny moments. Sorry! But not everything in a person's life can be as interesting as people wish they were.

I've finally caught up to nerd month! I'm really looking forward to this month because then I can gauge exactly how big of a nerd I am. And I'm saying that in a good way.

Now just because I've played chess before doesn't mean I'm good at it. In fact I think I'm really bad at it mainly because I have such a hard time remembering how certain pieces can move. There are so many aspects to take into consideration when playing chess and I just haven't gotten enough practice to fully understand how to strategize. I've also played the Chinese version of chess, which from what I can tell is the exact same rules as the chess you're thinking of. I believe all the pieces are the same and the goal is the same. Really it seems like the only difference is that the pieces are in carved into shapes and they have Chinese characters on it. Are you guys good at chess?
