Ice Chess Match

Submitted by Rael on Thu, 08/21/2008 at 12:45pm.

I became curious about the story behind the picture used in the latest Picture Caption Contest of some young people pushing large chess pieces made out of ice.

You can read the BBC News coverage of the event here -
Chess showdown ends in check melt

And a more in depth report by the Steatham & Brixton Chess Club here.

You can get the annotated game that was actually played here at the Dulwich Chess Club News.

That's totally awesome!! You'd think they'd do that where I live. It gets freakin' cold here.
