The Chess Lesson

Friday, March 4, 2011

Yay! Finally a blog on time! Woo-hoo! Haha, sorry again for not posting

pretty much at all this week...it's been insane. However, I have made up for

it and all the posts that were missing have been put in place. :) Today's shot

is one from Washington Square Park where a friend was teaching a friend to

play chess.

Quote Of The Day: (Two. :])

"Most gods throw dice, but Fate plays chess, and you don't find

out till too late that he's been playing with two queens all along."

~ Terry Pratchett

"In life, unlike chess, the game continues after checkmate."

~ Isaac Asimov

50 Word Story:

Rook, Pawn, Knight, Bishop

Cold benches and colder hands. A chess board laid out between them, the

black and white pieces shining in the cold light reflecting off the snow in the

park. Gentle teaching and experience guiding the pieces across the board.

Concentration, determination, and strategy, carefully moving each individual

piece.
