Chapter 7: The Middlegame

I graduated in Saint Claire Junior high school on march 17, 2019 and start my first - year College in Harvard University, the famous University in the United states of America. in the first day of school, I encountered different students and people. All they want is to fullfil their dreams but for myself. i just want to study hard and to play chess to become a

World Champion. I always think that my dream will not turn into a reality if i stay in my state, which is in Oregon. I want to interact with different person who is much better than me and people who can beat me. i play in various chess contest and at the same time, i manage to have a good grades. i won many times but there is something that lacks in me. I go to the "Columbian Knight Chess Club" in Los Angeles California and i met Mr.Arnold Fredo, the Coach of that chess club. Before i enter the Chessroom, I challenge him that if he can beat me, i will join in their club.

Mr.Arnold said that he will accept the challenge. I was very confident that time because I manage win on different chess competition so this game was a piece of cake for me. He arrange the tiles and he let me to choose. I choose the white piece while he choose the black. I started the move and after my third move, he keep in silence until he do his fourth move. I didn't know that he has also a tricky move and when i bite in his trap, I lost my queen and i started to be anxious and nervous because i lost one of the most important piece in chess. So because of what happened, i can't think clearly and start to execute bad moves. i didn't manage to trap his queen and because of that, i lost all of my officials and later on, i concedes defeat. that is the first time that i concedes defeat on someone. i go outside because of what happen. it was like i'm humiliate in front of other players but suddenly, Mr.Arnold opened the door and he called me "Hey boy nice playing with you!" I started to cry because of shame but he give me a warm hug, it was like a hug of a father and because of that i joined their club. I got so much advance information about chess that push me to study hard about it.
