Though much of his world occupied by black and white kings and queens, Andrew Clark still has a colorful childhood, full of bright crayons and romps with his best friend – his dog, Precious.
Andrew, 6, is learning chess at a young age. He started playing in August and has won more than half a dozen trophies, medals and awards for his accomplishments.
Andrew’s team of kindergartners and first-graders at Oak Hall School in Gainesville holds many awards, including the state chess champions title in their division.
“I like chess because you get to have trophies,” Andrew said.
