Here is the paragraph:

One day last fall, I decided to investigate the chess club at school. As I enter the classroom where the club met, I was amazed that the place was packed with players and boards, yet it was surprising silent. The club advisor greeted me when I entered. When he learned that I hadn't played chess before he asked one of the club members, Amanda, to explain the rules of the game. Amanda showed me the board and the pieces. She then explained how each player took turns and moved the pieces. Amanda said, "Remember, when the piece called the king has no moves left, it's called checkmate and the game is then over. Because Amanda was such a good teacher, she made the game sound pretty simple. I was ready to try out my new skills so Amanda suggested we play a game. I agreed and told her not to be to easy on me. She took my advice and beat me in just four moves! Amanda then showed me how she had accomplished this amazing feat I challenged her to another game, and this time I lasted fourteen moves before she yelled, "Checkmate!" As I left the chess club that day, my mind was on fire with moves and strategies to try at next week's meeting.
