Chess à la Carte - the Young Players


This young man and his friend (see the last photo) played for hours, sometimes here with the large pieces - and sometimes at a table, against the clock and always with boundless enthusiasm.

  2. We have those big chess pieces in B'ham. I have never seen anyone play with them however. Great shots of this cute young man.

  4. What can I say, now you have produced the desire to be young again. Chess can be so much fun. Lovely photos by the way.
    Take care Jilly.

  5. I guess the idea behind the giant chess pieces is so one can exercise not only their mind while playing chess! =) nice photo, btw.

  6. Great capture, and I am always happy to see young people engrossed in a chess game rather than staring at a computer screen.
