A new Expedia ad called "Bubbles" is in heavy rotation. I spotted it several times during the Track and Field World Championships.

There is a short clip of a chess game going on in a hot springs pool.

Black is the midst of playing Ba4, leaving us with this position:

Looks like these two players really like moving knights and pawns. Stockfish says White is about +3 in this position if he plays b3 next.

We eagerly await a Chess.com study on the effect of steam on ELO.

Time to use my old man powers.
