I woke up the next day with a smile to my lips. I knew exactly what to do. I was already seeing my white pieces gather together, begin their formation, slowly closing in on my opponent, the two dark black slits.

Ever since third grade, I have been battling my dad for the title of the household chess champion. When I was young, he taught me the rules and how each piece moves. I caught on quickly, and I desired to learn more about this complicated game. I challenged my dad frequently, but being only a beginner, I lost every time. My losing streak did not discourage me, though. As we played more often, certain tactics became clear to me, and I started to catch up to my father. Now, our chess skills are about

Ultimately the weakness and stupefaction of Motecuhzuma was enough to cause the powerful empire to crumble onto the Aztecs. Motecuhzuma’s deputy would sound the formal decree of surrender.
