In the doldrums of winter the kids are all somewhat restless. Cole admires Abner's chess board, and Abner offers to teach him to play. When Celeste finds out she wants lessons too (along with whatever other characters desire to learn). At first they play with Abner's chess board, but later they work together to build their own. (This is when Celeste becomes interested in learning to whittle wood.) After that they sometimes play up in the tower, or in their bedroom. Abner still plays with them sometimes, especially as the children learn and become real opponents. Cole and Celeste enjoy playing together and are generally a good match, with Cole winning every so slightly more often.

Bill - we had talked about playing chess together. I made Cole the instigator of the chess-learning rather than Celeste because I thought that he has a more solid relationship with Abner (since he sees him more often) and is more intense about games. Is that okay? I can change it if not.
