Ron,
	I just finished reading your Chessica story. I think it is really 
great. I have been playing chess now for about 12 years, and it brought back 
memories of when I learned how to play chess when I was 6 yrs old. I really 
love the story, and I think that kids would enjoy reading it also. Good job!! 
Maybe this story would help younger children to understand the game, and to 
enjoy it.
