Thanks
I double the time. ok or too slow?
chess in art
Sort:
Much improved. I'd actually like it even a little bit slower, but that's probably just me.
Thanks
If you want to see longer a painting you can clik on it. So you have the text too.
Tomorrow I'll make possible for the user to choose the speed.
good speed.. enough time to decide if you want to click and look longer.... a function to continioe the slideshow where you stopped would be great.
ooh you can click STOP (below the image) and look longer,,, when you click the image you leave the slide show (i think)
when you click STOP you can click PLAY and resume the slideshow
chess being art?? my friend ashley (deep-krishna on chess.com) showed what he conciders chess-art, and i agree. my brother (schipper) was thinking white should take the queen!!
Now on http://www.jmrw.com/Chess/Tableau_echecs/index.htm it is possible to choose the speed of the slideshow.
Click on "diaporama"
Do you see any more improvements?
thanks

Speaking of chess in art, have you looked at some nice chess sets? Some of those are art.
what springs to my mind: i once saw beautifull sets made by war-prisoners... out of materials they could find... i shall see if i can find some pictures..
i cannot find the article (maybe a blog here on chess.com) i think this is a good example ... the special story is in the link

the board is board and wood, decoreted with straw... the pieces are made of bread

wow!
there is really art in chess
And another quote by Marcel Duchamp is : " From my close contact with artists and chess players I have come to the personal conclusion that while all artists are not chess players, all chess players are artists " ( Cazenovia, 1952 ).
As a member of the French team he played in the 1928, 1930, 1931 and 1933 Chess Olympiads.
A wonderful collection, but I second netzach's suggestion to slow it down a bit. Some frames were flashing by so fast it reminded me of subliminal advertising. I use Chrome and it worked fine except for the frame rate.
