    Hey, Mik! You interested?!

    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

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

      But passed.

            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.
