Picture a Day - New generations choose chess!

qwerrie in Picture A Day • 4 months ago (edited)

I've already shared a capture from this set, and here is the second one. (Actually I have much more to share, and simply can not decide where to start: they are all pure beauty. I was enchanted to see their game and stood by their side for 10 mins, pressing the shutter, smiling and feeling I simply cannot pull myself from this sight. This happens quite often to me, its a digital disease: I dont have a natural limeter (aka 36 frames in a film cartridge) and not urged to select captures more precisely. We all are spoiled by the digital epoch...

“Quick download - scroll through - delete” :)

...One way or another, these are beautiful photographs and I invite you to rejoice with me in the fact that the younger generation not only pokes their fingers at smartphone screens, but also loves chess.

One of my best memories is my dad teaching me chess. I still have that chess set. Don’t we all call it chest when we are little?

I have taught mine the game but rarely play with them. A shame really but hopefully the time spent has prepared them with the skills to enjoy it for the rest of their life and pass it on.

'chest'? hehe. probably a nice joke for EN native speakers, but for Russians its definetely not the case. the game's name sounds in Russian like 'shakhmaty' 😜 I stopped playing with my daughter after 8-10 years, cause, huh, I am not a superb strong player myself and just cannot teach her. At least I put this seed into a fruitful soil, and lets see what will grow on! ps. it truly depends on random and socium - if she happen to have friends who are obsessed with it too, this may boost this slight intrest into fire and real passion. I wish it happen to her. Tnks a lot Zeke for dropping by and leaving your nice comment. !BEER and !LUV

Да нет, просто место было никак не оборудовано для.
Другая складывала на стул рядом с собственной попой :)
А вообще, ты только поставь себя на ее место!
ЭТО ЖЖ ТАК ПРИЯТНО, пригоршня взятых фигур, !LOLZ
чувствуешьсебя крутым и оседлавшим всадником золотой удачи

Very cool serial, I am totally adore it. Very stylish and shiny and touchy! that excuses all the rediculous incorrect details about history and the place, I simply cannot be angry, just count that as a fantasy about Russia, hehe. You know, I used to come up to a lot of things from their visual side. Thanks a lot for your visit and such a pleasurable comment. Lets share !PIZZA and !BEER.
ps.
Photofeed still not active, cant you say? I revoked my delegation. Sadly...

oh! ah... errr........ duh. damn. I did not check and even did not notice! that is a sign, yeah. leaving without giving a word, I can understand that. (especially if someone have hacked his akk and stole the key - possible case too). but thats not the best option ofc, it is better to have sort of a special post, announcement, with a possible opt to cancel delegation? anyway I did exactly what I did, canceled it, ehehe. Probably leaving us no reason to direct posts there?..
Thanks for bringing that to my notice, anyway. 🤪

Hehe! fantastic case indeed, really an exception to the common rule. All of three girls were there with (two) grannies, and both turned out to be reasonable, sane representatives of the human race... one of them even took my email to claim the photographs, which - even then it was visible through the viewfinder - turned out excellent! Well, as always, no one wrote anything to me. People value photography so little today because there is a LOT of it - after all, everyone has a smartphone, and there are tons of "I-can-press-a-button-too" style photos in it. 😍 Lets share Hive !PIZZA to celebrate it. TNKS for dropping by!

I used to love to play chess at school. We would finish all our work and spend afternoons playing chess. It was nice trying to stay on top of the best players in the class.
