The Chess Master

Tayshia is turning six, but her daddy isn’t there to celebrate, and he never will be due to accidental death. At least she has her two sisters, brother, and mom. Yet, she’s not happy. Her daddy used to play chess with her, which she remembers for the many happy hours and his love. Like many six-year-olds, she enters a fantasy world with her daddy as her chess and life mentor.
