A deep booming voice resonates from above the trembling spectators standing next to the yellow brick road:
"Pay no attention to that man shuffling the chess pieces"

You might think I am joking but I am aware of a local (to me) chess club member who, once a season, took the club pieces home and washed them in the bath.Brendan O'Gorman wrote:Derek began to realise that his compulsion to talk to his pieces was getting out of hand.
It is not clear if he was also in the bath at the same time.
The effect on the felt bases was less than helpful.
