Cajun Chess

There is a program on tv that is called, "Are you smarter than a fifth grader?" Now local media haz dun gadeated, but that was a long time ago, so in a foolish attempt to prove he still had the smarts, the roaming rogue reporter pitted his intelligence against a fourth grader, soon to be fifth grader, Patrick Musgrove, in a battle of the brains in a game called "Cajun Chess." The object of the game is to match four pieces of the same in a row. It could be four short or tall, round or square, black or white, hole or no hole in the center. Rumor is currently attempting to be squelched by the rogue reporter that his record in the game is on a terrible losing streak.
