Teaching Chess And Life- Discuss Scene

This story was about a boy named Carlos that lived in a neighborhood that was not the best to live in. It had a lot negative things that went on in it. Carlos had a mentor named Mr. Chiappetta, he was the one who taught him a lot about chess, and playing chess kept him out of trouble and out the streets. My favorite scene in the story was when he was at a chess tournament, and while he was playing he saw he had good moves and he got too excited and started gloating. Then Mr. Chiapetta stop the game and made him forfeit it to teach  him a lesson. A lesson of showing good sportsmanship.
