Do you ever play chess?
I know how to play it, but very rarely play.
I do collect chess games though.
The World Championship in Chess has been going on this week.
A few years ago I would have no idea there ever was a World Championship. Then Norway got Magnus Carlsen, a chess player who won everything. Our national television broadcaster (nrk.no) started to show the matches, people got interested, they developed a way to show us the games in a way everyone could follow and even understand. And then it did not take long till every single (well almost every single) Norwegian was glued to the television screen for hours, even days when Magnus Carlsen was playing.
I must confess I am among those glues to the screen. For two reasons. I love to watch Carlsen play. And it gives me great knitting time.
The WC in chess ended today, with Magnus Carlsen unfortunately not doing his best.
My knitting will not end and fortunately I am doing my best, at least that's what I think myself.......and I continue to love and collect chess games.
