Chess at Info Island


Catherine plays the classic "Varyoshnikovskaya" opening! This is the giant chessboard at Info Island. My opponent said that the knights looked like Snoopies (from "Peanuts"); I thought that the bishops looked like penguins. Note the white cone and the black cylinder that we used in place of the missing pawns. The black cylinder was almost invisible on the black squares, which gave me an unfair advantage that led to victory. Strategy, indeed.

Hmm. I was WONDERING how you were going to squeeze a story out of that! A photo feature is much better.
