Tigers Are Deadly!

Yes that's right I'm going to FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT to get back up at the top of the chess leader board. That Jemmimah is like a tiger, if she see's her prey she gets her prey! Yes that's right you have probably guessed, Jemmimah bet me in a game of chess today. We both wanted to play Darryn but when Katie said Darryn was going to be taking the advanced chess lessons, well Jemmimah sprang over to me with her tiger paws and quickly said before I could even stop her. 

"I CHALLENGE YOU!"

I knew that I couldn't back down so I said yes and was feeling very anxious because when Jemmimah gets her paws out she really gets them out, so I was very afraid that she would take my fame at the top of the leader board. Five minutes into the game, she got my most precious player. THE QUEEN! I was thinking "Noooooooooooooooooooo!" but I didn't show it one bit. I knew I could still win but after another five minutes she let out her secret trap out and there I was, my lonely king stuck in the corner of the board. No one there to save me. No one at all. Then suddenly the music went off. All I had to say was, "You won." Even though it was my turn and I wasn't in check or stalemate I let her win and take my spot. Even if I did feel very disappointed in myself I felt good for her. Then as soon as Jemmimah told Darryn he said that you have still got four and a half weeks to stay on the top to go the chess tournament. I had a good feeling in me because I knew I have heaps of time to practise at home and next time it's chess time, I will defeat her. No more fame anymore tiger! You better watch out!
