King's Leap

Enough indoor drills—I slipped through the front door and caught a rumble on the tram straight to Parc des Bastions! Right under the leafy trees sat a massive outdoor chessboard with pieces almost as tall as me. Time for a strength test! I charged up to a heavy black wooden rook, wrapped both arms around its crenelated top, and swung my legs up into a clean straddle. From up here, the entire board looked like a battlefield. I struck a classic victor's salute right on the king's crown!
