All the children loved playing the huge floor chess game, and Baron always arranged the competition matches so everyone would have several chances to play on it.

"The challenge today," said Baron, as David picked up the trophy, "will be to see if David can retain his title of Chess Champion for another year."
"Or if this will be the year that someone else finally unseats him."
David just smiled to himself, thinking there wasn't much chance of that.
