Checkmate!

NEWSFLASH (CA)--Screams were heard in a quiet Southern California home 4:36pm Sunday afternoon. A nearby woman rushed to the scene to discover a man and his seven-year-old son sitting at a Chess board.

Alan gestured to his son Jonathan in a daze and said, "He beat me. I can't believe he beat me." Jonathan excitedly jumped up and down and screamed, "I beat Daddy! Checkmate!" He explained that he had started playing Chess less than a month ago but had practiced every day with the Chess software his mother had bought for him for Christmas.

There were no reported injuries at the scene except for a slightly bruised ego.
