Title: MAXimum Effort!
Notes: It has been a while since I have posted a weekly theme photo, but I am inspired this week.. and on vacation ;-), so here is my favorite shot for the theme… My favorite venue for island relaxation, fun and friends is Club Soda. and they have many choices for fun and games and an enthusiastic clientele and staff. This shot is of the outdoor chess set in mid match… our favorite protagonist, Max is contemplating the downfall of the white king. Wait, where is my drink? ;-)

The Boxborough library has a chess set in the young adult room, which seems to get a lot of use. Whenever I visit, it looks as if someone just stepped away from the table.
This is a screensot from my latest Harry Potter stop-motion movie.
Watch how Hermione, Harry and Ron are mastering the iconic wizzard chess game in the full movie on YouTube:

He showed up eagerly in Dupont Circle at rush hour, hoping for a pick-up chess game, but no, everybody just walked on by him.

The first warm spring day of 2012 in Galway, Ireland :-)
I was lucky enough to have the entire day free to enjoy the wonderful weather. As I had a few bills to pay and grocery shop to do, I headed into town in a fabulous mood (mundane jobs are so much more fun on a warm day!!) I am not sure why, maybe it is 'growing up', but I was saddened to see so many people sitting outside pubs drinking (happily, and having fun, but nevertheless) that can be done at any time (granted, maybe not sitting outside, but you know!) But as I walked out of town and towards the sea shore, there was a totally different atmosphere. One of the nice things I came across was a group of people playing chess, with large chess pieces! I sat and watched for at least an hour, and when each game was completed a new person walking past would join in! This is what summer time is all about, meeting people and having fun...and guess what...it can be done away from pubs!!! :-)
Have a wonderful weekend Flickr friends ;-)
There was a time I played chess with real players. I was always looking for others I could play with and that could be a headache when I was on holidays or travelling. Now, you don't have that problem, since you can play it "on-line", even chess became virtual... It is not the same thing, but it will help keeping you entertained and develop your own strategies...
I must say that my virtual partner is the winner now (I was not playing chess for a couple of years) and I am almost tempted to buy something to improve my performance. I'm hesitating between a virtual chess mentor or virtual gym for the brain... :))

This may go over people's heads, but what the heck. The picture is of the critical position in the game that I consider my best ever competitive chess game, played in 2000 in the Welsh Under-1500 cup. I have the black pieces, and it is me to move in the diagrammed position. White threatens checkmate on h7 and the white bishop on g4 is exposed to capture as well. It is not possible to defend against both threats, at least not directly.
I won the game from this position, though I had to think for 25 minutes about my move first.
The moves, for those that understand chess notation, are below. The standard isn't great, as I have never been that good at chess, but I am still proud of this game.

"Chess Game on Bank Street"
I want to take a photograph of this man whenever I see him. However, I just don't have the "balls" to approach him; he is one of the "tough" ones on Bank Street.
On this day, he was sitting on the sidewalk watching the chess players. I spotted a photographer taking photos of him from afar with a telephoto lens ... can't do that with my TLR camera!!!
I overcame my hesitation and approached him. Just by coincidence a girl was dragging a bicycle with a pretzeled front wheel. We both looked at her and her bike in awe!
"Shit! What happened?", I asked.
"I was hit by a car!", she said.
The man and I began conversing with the girl and talked about how dangerous the traffic is on Bank Street. This coincidence of the girl appearing enabled me to connect with the man and later took a few photos of him. To my surprise as well, he is actually quite an approachable person, friendly and talkative.
