From Catcher In The Rye, page 41, when Holden was talking about playing checkers with Jean Gallagher:

"You used to play what with her all the time?" [Holden's roommate, Stradlater]

"Checkers."

"Checkers, for Chrissake!"

"Yeah. She wouldn't move any of her kings. What she'd do, when she'd get a king, she wouldn't move it. She'd just leave it in the back row. She'd get them all lined up in the back row. Then she'd never use them. She just liked the way they looked when they were all in the back row."

My hunch is this will be exactly what Sophia does when she learns to play checkers with me. By the way, Sophia knows where all the chess pieces are placed on the board. Some names of the pieces:

• King: daddy
• Queen: mommy
• bishops: Arianna and Olivia, her two older sisters
• knights: horsies (of course)
• castles: 
• pawns: her sisters
