It took over an hour of asking for directions and getting lost till he found the location for the request. It was a park that was filled with people from different ages. Geezers took up park benches chatting with one another or playing cards while the younger adults watched over their children playing. In the midst of all this was a small section where a young boy played chess against different participants. As Ogel approached him, the young boy shook the hand of an older man who he had just defeated in a game of chess. "Are you Bart?" Ogel asked as he showed him the request. Grabbing it, Bart looked at Ogel and responded with a nod of his head. Shaking hands, the two boys sat opposite of each other as Bart began to set up his side of the board. "Aren't you going to do the same?" Bart spoke as he looked over at Ogel who looked at the chess board dumbfounded. "Actually, I've never played this game," Ogel responded as he rubbed the back of his head.
Gasping, Bart fixed his glasses as he finished setting up the board. "Then why'd you take my request if you don't know how to play?" he asked. Thinking for a moment, Ogel pointed a finger at Bart, "so I can help people! I may not know how to play but you can teach me! It'll be fun!" Sighing, Bart began to explain the rules of chess as he helped Ogel set up his side of the board. He took his time explaining the different pieces and what role each piece had. The goal of the game was to take out the king of the opposing player, exclaiming 'checkmate' at any moment you had the king in your line of sight. A fairly simple concept but with many intricate strategies. Bart was a master of this game and Ogel was about to play for the first time. The rules themselves were easy to understand as were the roles of each piece but the hardest part would be adjusting to the opponent and knowing how to counter. Ogel did not have this kind of thinking though. His plan was to try and win while ensuring Bart had a good time. After all, his goal for doing requests was to ensure he got the job done and everyone was happy.
