"Burden me! Please! Did I not unload my emotional baggage upon you on our first meeting? What kind of friend would I be if I did not wish to listen to you? I am more than happy to listen to you and your problems."

She shook her head, "They are more my short coming. But please," she gestured to the board. "Once upon a time you were to teach me a game, I would very much like to play it."

"The king. He is the primary piece. If you take the king, you win the game. You start by putting the king in check, or in a move where you can overtake him on your next turn. Your next goal is to get a checkmate. This is where the king cannot escape and will be overtaken on the next turn no matter the move he makes. The movement for the king is one space, any direction, forward and backward. Thus making it difficult to escape a check."
