Wednesday, July 30, 2014

At the recent Temescal street fair, there was a sidewalk chess table. All comers welcome. Intense concentration required. Linked to ABC Wednesday.

I don't like to think that hard. Plus I am easily distracted by other things going on around me, just like the young girl.

Wonderful photo! I DO like to think that hard but have been doing Crosswords as I way of keeping my brain active. You have inspired me. I must get out the Chess board again. It's been a long time.

The little girl does look quite distracted, but the players are definitely into it!

Chess seems to pretty common in urban areas. I wonder how that trend developed.
