How about a game of chess?

[George K]

Hey, Mik! You interested?!

I thought about "Are you ready for some chess?"

But passed.

You're welcome.

By the way, that's just a model, not a real chess player.

Unlike this one:

Or this one...

Pale imitations.

"What do you think of my chess?"

No that it's got anything to do with this thread, but chess is one activity that has really benefited from the lockdown - there's a whole host of online pro-tournaments to watch, in the unlikely event that anybody's interested - most of them with timescales that make the games relatively short - i.e. 30 minutes and 10 minutes total rather than the usual 4-5 hours.

And yes, my wife and kids think I'm a complete dork, too.

Despite all your enjoyable photography, there has really only been one seriously good female chess player.

Not that anybody cares about that of course.

This is Tanya - she does the YouTube commentary on the current tournaments. She isn't the one seriously good one. Of course, I'm only watching because of Magnus.
