0:00:56 > 0:00:58Hey! DW!

0:01:00 > 0:01:02- Hey!- Whoa!

0:01:02 > 0:01:04GLASS BREAKS

0:01:06 > 0:01:08Lots of people I know have a hidden talent.

0:01:08 > 0:01:10Mine is table tennis.

0:01:12 > 0:01:14Sorry!

0:01:14 > 0:01:16Some of these hidden talents don't seem to fit

0:01:16 > 0:01:19with the people who have them, like Binky.

0:01:22 > 0:01:23BINKY BURPS

0:01:23 > 0:01:27Who would believe that he's such an amazing dancer?

0:01:27 > 0:01:30TANGO MUSIC STARTS

0:01:34 > 0:01:38Or that Molly would be so great at giving advice?

0:01:38 > 0:01:41There's no shame in losing, as long as you gave it 100%.

0:01:45 > 0:01:47Don't be embarrassed about being shy,

0:01:47 > 0:01:50it means you're a sensitive and respectful person.

0:01:50 > 0:01:51Embrace it.

0:01:52 > 0:01:56You don't have to chase cars. Yes, they're fast and make noise,

0:01:56 > 0:02:00but who's in control? You, pal, YOU!

0:02:00 > 0:02:01DOG BARKS

0:02:01 > 0:02:04But there's one person whose hidden talent I would have never guessed

0:02:04 > 0:02:06in a million years!

0:02:06 > 0:02:10It's Arthur, there you are! I was so worried about you!

0:02:10 > 0:02:12It's chilly out, so I brought you a hat.

0:02:12 > 0:02:15You HAVE to protect that supersmart brain of yours.

0:02:15 > 0:02:18Why are acting so strange?

0:02:18 > 0:02:21Me? I'm just showing you my hidden talent.

0:02:21 > 0:02:23Niceness.

0:02:23 > 0:02:27- Can I get you some juice? - DW, I'm not talking about you.

0:02:27 > 0:02:30How about a little nuppy-whuppy? I'll sing you a lullaby.

0:02:30 > 0:02:32Stop it, you're creeping me out!

0:02:32 > 0:02:35DW LAUGHS EVILLY

0:02:36 > 0:02:38CHEERING

0:02:52 > 0:02:54Checkmate!

0:02:54 > 0:02:56THEY CHEER

0:02:56 > 0:02:59You have gone soft, Brain, weak!

0:02:59 > 0:03:03- Why do you not practise more? - I have no one to practise with!

0:03:03 > 0:03:06You could have been a worthy opponent for...

0:03:06 > 0:03:08Los Dedos!

0:03:08 > 0:03:12As it is, you will always be an amateur.

0:03:12 > 0:03:14A chess club, huh?

0:03:14 > 0:03:17I've played a game or two in my day, in fact in high school,

0:03:17 > 0:03:20I was known as Checkmate McGrady.

0:03:20 > 0:03:24That's great! I need all the good players I can get!

0:03:28 > 0:03:29Chess! Pfff!

0:03:29 > 0:03:31Chess is boring!

0:03:31 > 0:03:34True, but Brain is serving free ice-cream.

0:03:34 > 0:03:37I've always said, it's the game of kings.

0:03:44 > 0:03:48Well, I'll be. You've got me trussed up tighter than a Sunday ham!

0:03:48 > 0:03:52But I think Checkmate McGrady still has a trick up her sleeve.

0:03:52 > 0:03:54- Checkmate!- Hmmm.

0:03:54 > 0:03:57I guess that move should have stayed at the sleeve!

0:03:57 > 0:03:59- Another game?- I'd love to,

0:03:59 > 0:04:02but lunch isn't going to make itself!

0:04:02 > 0:04:05I'll try to come back as often as I can.

0:04:06 > 0:04:08You took my piece!

0:04:08 > 0:04:11Oh, sorry, here, I'll give it back.

0:04:11 > 0:04:13OK, and I'll just move this pawn up one,

0:04:13 > 0:04:17- that way he's not threatening anyone.- Thanks.- Guys!

0:04:17 > 0:04:20If you never take any pieces, no one is ever going to win!

0:04:20 > 0:04:23- That's OK, I'm having fun.- Me too!

0:04:23 > 0:04:26BRAIN SIGHS

0:04:33 > 0:04:37- King me!- You can't move like that! That's checkers!

0:04:37 > 0:04:41See, I told you that was wrong! Back to your own side, Pointy Head!

0:04:43 > 0:04:46Yahoo!

0:04:46 > 0:04:48BRAIN SIGHS

0:04:48 > 0:04:50If this is going to be a proper chess club,

0:04:50 > 0:04:53then you all have to understand the rudiments of the game!

0:04:53 > 0:04:57- Yes, Binky?- Where's the ice cream?

0:04:57 > 0:04:59That was just for our first session.

0:04:59 > 0:05:02Now, the point of chess is to checkmate the opponent's king.

0:05:02 > 0:05:04That means that the king is being threatened...

0:05:04 > 0:05:06- What if the king makes a deal with the other king?- You can't!

0:05:06 > 0:05:10Well, we did. We prefer to settle things diplomatically.

0:05:10 > 0:05:13Yeah, Fern and I have a mutual nonaggression pact.

0:05:13 > 0:05:17That's not allowed! In chess, there has to be a winner and a loser.

0:05:17 > 0:05:20Unless it's a stalemate, then the game's a draw.

0:05:20 > 0:05:24That's actually correct. I didn't know you played chess, Rattles.

0:05:24 > 0:05:25Grab a seat!

0:05:25 > 0:05:29Nah, I was just passing by. I didn't even know we had a chess club.

0:05:29 > 0:05:31Are you good? You certainly seem to know the rules.

0:05:31 > 0:05:33Well, I'm no Kasparov,

0:05:33 > 0:05:35but I can fianchetto my bishop

0:05:35 > 0:05:38and I've been told I have a mean endgame.

0:05:40 > 0:05:43I don't know what's going on, but it's exciting anyway.

0:05:43 > 0:05:46I think Rattles has him up against the ropes!

0:05:47 > 0:05:49Nah, you don't want to do that.

0:05:49 > 0:05:51That'll be mate in three.

0:05:52 > 0:05:56You don't want to do that either. That's mate in four.

0:05:56 > 0:06:00- Well then, what should I do? - Try moving that pawn.

0:06:02 > 0:06:04Checkmate! What?

0:06:04 > 0:06:07You were going to lose anyway, why prolong the agony?

0:06:07 > 0:06:10- I've got to bounce. - Wait! You can't just leave!

0:06:10 > 0:06:14- Sorry, I've got to wash my hair. - But, you'll join the club, right?

0:06:14 > 0:06:18I'm not really the club-joining type. Later.

0:06:18 > 0:06:21THEY LAUGH

0:06:25 > 0:06:26THEY CHEER

0:06:26 > 0:06:27Let's do it again!

0:06:27 > 0:06:29BRAIN SIGHS

0:06:29 > 0:06:33Please! I'll give you free ice-cream for a month.

0:06:33 > 0:06:37- Too much dairy gives me gas. - Then, I'll do your homework for you!

0:06:37 > 0:06:40And deprive me of my education? No, thanks.

0:06:40 > 0:06:43Fine, don't join the club, just play with me,

0:06:43 > 0:06:45I need someone to practise with.

0:06:45 > 0:06:49All you need to know about chess is this, it's like the wind,

0:06:49 > 0:06:51resist it and it will break you.

0:06:51 > 0:06:55Go with it, and you can sail across oceans.

0:06:56 > 0:06:58What does THAT mean?

0:06:58 > 0:07:01I don't know, but it sounded good, didn't it?

0:07:01 > 0:07:06Ah! It is the amateur, talking to the scruffy ruffian

0:07:06 > 0:07:09when you should be inside practising your game.

0:07:09 > 0:07:12I ain't no ruffian, I'm just misunderstood.

0:07:12 > 0:07:14This is my friend, Rattles,

0:07:14 > 0:07:17and he's ten times the player you'll ever be!

0:07:17 > 0:07:19He could beat you with one hand tied behind his back!

0:07:19 > 0:07:21Actually, that sounds very uncomfortable.

0:07:21 > 0:07:24Oh, really? Well then he can play me

0:07:24 > 0:07:27in next week's Junior Chess Championship.

0:07:27 > 0:07:31Be prepared to be crushed by Los Dedos!

0:07:31 > 0:07:34SHE LAUGHS WICKEDLY

0:07:34 > 0:07:38- Who was that?- Los Dedos. That's Spanish for the fingers.

0:07:38 > 0:07:41She's called that because she drums her nails when she plays

0:07:41 > 0:07:43and drives her opponents crazy.

0:07:43 > 0:07:46I've never beaten her and I probably never will.

0:07:46 > 0:07:49I started the chess club so I could get better,

0:07:49 > 0:07:51but it's pretty much a disaster.

0:07:51 > 0:07:54Well, Los Dedos has just met the Nail Clipper!

0:07:54 > 0:07:58Come on, I'll need help getting into shape.

0:07:58 > 0:08:00I might be the one playing Mighty Mountain

0:08:00 > 0:08:02but all you guys got to help.

0:08:02 > 0:08:06Blatsky's Book of Classic Games? I've never read this one.

0:08:06 > 0:08:10It went out of print ten years ago. I want you to learn it by heart

0:08:10 > 0:08:12and be my chief sparring partner.

0:08:12 > 0:08:15You two will help me with my endgame, but you got to want to win.

0:08:15 > 0:08:17Now, say it, I want to win!

0:08:17 > 0:08:19BOTH: (I want to win.)

0:08:19 > 0:08:21What was that? Do I hear a mouse squeaking in this room?

0:08:21 > 0:08:23LOUDER!

0:08:23 > 0:08:25BOTH: I want to win!

0:08:27 > 0:08:30You two are hopeless. But you can still help.

0:08:30 > 0:08:32I want you to try and distract me while I play.

0:08:32 > 0:08:34Think you can do that?

0:08:34 > 0:08:37Ahhhhh! Flying gophers! Duck!

0:08:37 > 0:08:41I'm not playing yet! But I like the effort.

0:08:41 > 0:08:45All right, team, let's get started!

0:09:06 > 0:09:09Is that all you got? Ha!

0:09:10 > 0:09:13Yeah, that's right, sleep no more,

0:09:13 > 0:09:15because the dummy just took your knight!

0:09:19 > 0:09:22That move's not from Blatsky's Book of Classic Games.

0:09:22 > 0:09:25Oh, yeah, I just decided to do something else.

0:09:25 > 0:09:27- Sorry. I'll take it back.- No, no,

0:09:27 > 0:09:30it's a good move. You know, you've gotten a lot better.

0:09:30 > 0:09:34Thanks. I can't wait to see the look on Los Dedos' face tomorrow

0:09:34 > 0:09:37- when she gets trounced.- Me too.

0:09:40 > 0:09:41DOORBELL RINGS

0:09:47 > 0:09:51Why aren't you dressed? The tournament's in 20 minutes!

0:09:51 > 0:09:52I can't make it.

0:09:52 > 0:09:56My parents had guests over and there was a lot of cheese.

0:09:56 > 0:09:57I knew I should have held back.

0:09:57 > 0:09:59HE GROANS

0:09:59 > 0:10:02I just can't resist it a good Pont l'Eveque!

0:10:02 > 0:10:05But, what are we going to do? I don't want to forfeit!

0:10:05 > 0:10:07You'll just have to play Los Dedos!

0:10:07 > 0:10:10Me? But she always beats me!

0:10:10 > 0:10:12Trust me, you're good enough, Brain,

0:10:12 > 0:10:15but there's one thing you have to remember.

0:10:15 > 0:10:19- What?- Have fun. It's a game!

0:10:19 > 0:10:22Now go, play this one for the Nail Clipper.

0:10:27 > 0:10:30- Way to go!- You can do it! - Brain's the best!

0:10:47 > 0:10:52- Who's winning?- She just took Brain's pointy thing with her pony.

0:11:00 > 0:11:02HE SIGHS

0:11:10 > 0:11:11Check...

0:11:11 > 0:11:14Checkmate!

0:11:14 > 0:11:16THEY CHEER

0:11:16 > 0:11:18That was beautiful!

0:11:18 > 0:11:23Now you are a worthy opponent, Cerebro Grande!

0:11:23 > 0:11:25That endgame, sheer genius!

0:11:25 > 0:11:29I can't wait for our next meeting and I'd better warn you,

0:11:29 > 0:11:31I've been studying up.

0:11:31 > 0:11:34Checkmate McGrady is back in fighting form!

0:11:34 > 0:11:36I can't wait!

0:11:38 > 0:11:40You were never sick, were you?

0:11:40 > 0:11:44Well, I had a little discomfort, but I knew you could take her.

0:11:44 > 0:11:48- So, are you going to join the club? - What's the snack situation like?

0:11:48 > 0:11:50- Anything you want.- Pretzels?- Sure.

0:11:50 > 0:11:53Nah, too salty. Raisins would be nice,

0:11:53 > 0:11:57- but only the yellow ones. - Ha! You're so picky!

0:11:57 > 0:11:59Hey, when you're a prodigy, you can be picky, too.
