How about a game of chess?

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?"

[Doctor Phibes]

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.
