A pivotal momentby ~BenoitAubry

Photography / Street

I originally wanted to call this Pièce touchée, pièce jouée based on the chess rule that once you touch a piece, you must play it. But the server doesn't allow for French accents in titles.

This is a trend that I hope will keep going. Ottawa needs a lane of culture and intellectual stimulation from other than the national museums.

Chess is like playing hockey really, really slow. I love playing but I'm not sure I could enjoy it on the street like these people do. I need to be in a quieter, less distracting setting.

"CAR!"

I always wished that I was a decent chess player, but I could never remember the plays that I had worked out!

~BenoitAubry Apr 22, 2008 Photographer

Me too. It's been such a long time since I got to paly a decent game... years, really.

I love how you have captured the intense look on the little guy's face

I was too. Could be the next Spassky!

Je trouve ça amusant comme manière de jouer aux échecs

~BenoitAubry Apr 22, 2008 Photographer

En Allemagne, ils ont des jeu d'ou les gens sont les pièces. Celui-ci c'est nouveau comme attraction en ville.

oh pas mal ^^
Ok... peut être que ça existe aussi dans mes belles contrées... va falloir que je regarde mieux que ça ^^

~BenoitAubry Apr 23, 2008 Photographer

Ca fait peut-être très longtemps de ça mais je crois que c'était à Baden-Baden

*Heurchon Apr 23, 2008

Merci pour toutes ces infos

Je suis une banque d'information presque inutile
