The concentration just wore me out, AND I don't have a mathematical mind, which i suspect is required.Banjo52https://www.blogger.com/profile/04342397136888422440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-222523593258151872.post-38353567756012965752012-06-08T08:12:46.839-04:002012-06-08T08:12:46.839-04:00Thanks folks!!

But there are chess teams in school, which is great. <br /><br />HI Marcia<br />Oh neat! I love cool sets, too. They can be so intricate and colorful, like tiny statues.<br /><br />Thanks Terry!<br />There are still a handful of esoteric stores here, and on the same street, there is another chess store.<br /><br />The game is enjoyed in this city but we haven't formed an official NY team yet, haha.Kittyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13260829805068114560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-222523593258151872.post-12866095969509762672012-06-07T12:17:46.658-04:002012-06-07T12:17:46.658-04:00Very nice piece, Kitty!

When I was in London years ago we wandered into a small shop that sold nothing but chess sets and to this day I am ticked at myself for not purchasing the Alice in Wonderland inspired one.<br /><br />Anyway great photos as usual.Marcianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-222523593258151872.post-24962727005001696502012-06-07T05:31:52.984-04:002012-06-07T05:31:52.984-04:00Chess is a fun and challenging game.
