Oh yay, her wish had been granted. Someone had taken pity on her and offfered to help. And it was.......Bay. "Thanks so much Bay. You are sooo sweet for agreeing to help me." Her knight in shining armor had come to the rescue, again. "I don't know much about chess at all, so this should be very interesting."

Bay suggested that Alex should be the rook and take the position opposite him on the board. Then he gave her a quick explanation of how the piece could move. "Forward, backward and sideways, got it." Alex left her square and moved to the square directly opposite Bay. OK, she was the white rook now. Addressing Bay she said, "Any other words of wisdom?"
