This enjoyable novelette chronicles how Chess influenced a man's entire life. Some names have been changed to protect the innocent, and the guilty. John learns how to play Chess as a child. Thirty years later, he yearns for a more active social life. He puts an ad in the paper, and starts the Ruidoso Chess Club. The group enjoys years of meetings, and good friendships are formed. He starts to believe he can make a living winning Chess tournaments. A child with a doll tempers his lofty dreams. This book is based on a true story. It is a peek inside the world of an amateur Chess player. Please enjoy my story. I tried to make this book easy and fun to read. I sincerely hope I give someone a laugh or two. Best regards, Ron Bergeron
