The Queen's Gambit

[thatguy]

As some of you might remember, my PhD thesis was going to be on chess and fencing. tg shot my photos for the experiment.

There's some missing brain cells...I must have done a little too much pruning. Still have the pix? I'm curious to see what past-tg's skillz were like at that time.

We realized we've had a run of orphan stories - this, Great Expectations, The BFG.

And Harry Potter...it all comes back to Harry Potter...(Though I always thought HP was ripped off, if not heavily influenced by Roald Dahl)

PS: I was in the chess club in Junior High. For no good reason other then to be in some kind of club. I was not a great player. They did some interesting variations. One was a game called "Quadra-chess" that had a modified board and allowed 4 players to play together from opposing sides.
