Chess. So many stories around it. So many interesting openings I tried. So many metaphors for real life. So many interesting characters in the history of chess. So many interesting books about it. Coincidentally my favorite is "My 60 Memorable Games" by Bobby Fischer. About one move in a game, Fischer writes "Sherwin slid the Rook here with his pinky, as if to emphasize the cunning of this mysterious move". Since I read that, now whenever I make an unusual move, I prefer to do it with my pinky. There is also nothing better then finding an old chess game in a bar or cafe and then spontaneously playing a game. On a summer evening. Putting a candle next to the board.
