| He's not much taller than a chess pawn, but Aaron Balleisen, 8, has the oversized game and his opponent -- older brother Zachary, 10 -- under his thumb. Aaron makes a Qg2 move for checkmate during an Extended Day program talent showcase at Club Boulevard Magnet Elementary School. Self-taught for the most part, Aaron has been playing since he was "practically four years old," mostly against his dad and brother. "Chess is complicated, but I like strategical games," he said nudging loose glasses to his face after wrestling the queen to her final position. Not only does he like chess, he's learning to master it as he recently took first place in the K-3 section of the N.C. State Scholastic Championships. |
