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

        Unlike this one:

              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.

              I was only joking

                      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.
