It will be like a chess game... Is that your way of saying it will be drab? (Gary L) ... Yes

… take a chess set and you’ve got a friend for life from ECF website
Whilst it will be great to have the metrics into prisons it will also be nice to know how many sets/pieces are stolen over the next few years.

Spotted by John Emms in Heathrow Monday.
An ad for Boodles. A bracelet on the wrist of an attractive woman.
She is eying a chess set on a board which seems to be around the right way.

The board may be the right way round, but it appears White must have under-promoted one of her pawns to a Bishop!

And both White rooks are en prise! (Or Black's queenside rook is en prise if it is White to move).

And to think, Hikaru managed to hold me to a draw in an open masters in Trinidad. Oh, he was 10 years old at the time.

Re: Media comments on chess
I just spoken to Boodles about their ad featuring an attractive young woman playing. That is a bit further upthread.
Her name is ARIZONA MUSE and she is a top model.
The campaign comes to an end at the end of this month. That is a typical problem. We only get to hear of the campaign involving chess long after it has been launched. But just occasionally one strikes gold.

Re: Media comments on chess
I reckon that set's from Chess and Bridge because I have what I think is an identical one a few feet away from where I'm sitting. Comes in a black bag.

Re: Media comments on chess
I wonder if we can work anything out, by retrograde analysis, about which White pawn under-promoted?
