Nanaw went over to Chase's house to visit him on Sunday afternoon before his hockey practice.  Nanaw took the chess game along with her so that they could play chess. They played for about an hour, with Chase teaching Nanaw what to do. Nanaw was impressed by how much Chase knows about chess. He and Mama played the other day, and as far as Nanaw knows, that was his only experience with chess. Nanaw will check with Mama to see if that's the only time he played chess. He was very helpful to Nanaw and so was the game itself and the spinner. It's a chess set made for beginners. Nanaw is going to study the game directions. Chase told Nanaw a move to make that meant she ended up winning the game -- which is very bizarre because she had no idea what she was doing. After the chess game, Chase got out his big bucket of slime, and he and Nanaw played with the slime until it was time for his to get ready for hockey and for Nanaw to leave. Tomorrow is Chase's last day of  Christmas break; he and Nanaw are going to play chess again, play with the kinetic sand and play with Chase's new robotic fish.
