...I don't think there is much that hasn't been stolen by the computer age era...what you see here is how a person used to study chess (I think I'm the last..) Now, you have the computer, the software and gone is the charm of the tangible...wooden pieces, the odor of a good book....as the coffee steams while a soft Beethoven may be heard in the background...I guess to really care...you gotta have a passion for chess. But, why do anything at all without passion....

I used to play chess in college with my then-boyfriend. I really miss it. It is definitely a great way to pass the time. Excellent photo, btw.

Great shot.The soft somber mood created by the candles lends to the intellectual
atmosphere needed to play this game.Brings back some fine memories.......Thanks for sharing..............Jim

Putting your pictures in my favorites is the highest honor I can give you. If I do not get to your pictures as soon as you post them, I apologize. I try. Also if I do not respond for awhile it doesn't mean I'm ignoring you, it just means I'm really tied up with life.

It seems a little crowded, but I like the way that brings everything together. Nice lines through the photo.
