Chess at the Local
Sort:
Ah, wasn't it 'I'm/waiting for my man/26 chessmen in my hand'? Which directs us to Marius' "Johnny Walker, du bist mein bester Freund". Yesterday I played chess 960 with small Unicorn pieces on a small khatam board, sunset and lakeshore. Another productive misunderstanding resulted in the picture 'Sitting on a dog from ebay', but I will not post Otis Redding. I'll post Kolossale Jugend from my teen age. I was desperate to find something adequate to your Stones beauty, Powder! What a wonderful song and video you shared, thank you. I was never relaxed anytime, and not about friendship. Some of my best friends I have not talked to in years loved these songs, too

Cheers all, I hadn’t heard that Velvet Underground song … always great to get good music in my ears! As it happened, regarding the picture above I was eager to play but my mate had a heavy day at work and just wanted to chat. Worked for me … away went the pieces … and a good chat we had over a quiet wine. And @ungewichtet… your music was a tad heavy for me but whether with friends listening to music you love or sitting alone … on the dock of the bay wasting time … 😊… it’s good to reflect on and learn from life’s experiences

As much as I enjoyed this afternoon, wine does not seem to equate to good decision making. 😆Another fun game at a local wine bar.

Yeah this one (beautiful set BTW❤️) seems better suited for some coffee house around the corner.

Cheers, @Sahist4 - I appreciate the feedback. Indeed, this fine establishment does serve coffee but … we chose a different drink 🍷. 😉😆
However, I am with you a coffee house set in a coffee house 👍👍

This set is already wobbly … then add a few wines to the mix. Great fun. Many people came up to chat while we were playing - a talking point for sure. 👍
It appears that some of the pieces also partook in some of your beverages @Powderdigit, as they are not moving straight anymore. You and your Pals are great ambassadors for chess play in public. Also, that wavy-textured board is interesting to behold.
Please carry on!

That made me laugh @PWalker1 . If chess isn’t hard enough, add some wine to the mix, combine with wobbly pieces and the laughs and smiles inevitably follow!
Waiting on a Friend 🙂👍
Is that not a line from the velvet underground ?
