Something to do, on these cold and rainy winter days, like today. I recently learned to play chess, from my son. I enjoy it, even though I’m not very good. This photo from Marksburg castle in the Rhine River Valley, reminds me that this is a game that has been played for centuries. I can imagine the people of medieval times in this nook in the hall, concentrating and passing the time with a game on a long winter’s day. (Although in my imagination I’m guessing the people are much cleaner than they actually were.)
Today I will say to my son, “Shall we play a game?”
Enjoy your Sunday!

What an interesting looking chess set. It looks old – I wonder if it is. Beautifully lit from the window too. I am no good at chess – can't think far enough ahead. I tell myself I live in the moment to compensate

A strange game. The only winning move is not to play… sorry, the title of your post made me think of War Games.
