“Perseverance is a noble quality – yet, there are times when we decide to throw down the gauntlet, walk away” (Elizabeth Obih-Frank)

I was fascinated by the video, short as it was. I remember Bobby Fischer and what an enigma he was.
Great photo of the chess pieces! I am a checkers girl.
I have never played a chess but it sounds so fun.
The chess pieces are great. They look like glass.
they are glass; my chess figures – I like to play with them when sun is shining …
Love the way you began and ended this post: such evocative contrasts between the ambery, light-filled chess pieces and the man and woman playing chess outside all swaddled against the cold, brains hot with concentration! Wonderful post that says so much about how we humans meet challenges!
Defense, defense: Never have I learned offensive, never have I learned how to play chess, really, but guess what: Ican move the pieces like a pro!
Very interesting post! Didn’t know that Bobby Fischer had such a high IQ (per the video).
Excellent ! Thanks !
my similar trial in New York
P.S.: I played many years chess till I got wise and canceled the maniac permanent battle …
Love the concentration of the woman.
Have always wanted to learn to play chess.
perhaps, I will make it my New Years resolution.
Thank you for a very nice post.
