Chess Art and Mike Magnan
SPRAGGETT ON CHESS
Ignoring the chess politicos amongst us for the moment, our chess community is otherwise filled with many creative and talented individuals who contribute vibrantly to our chess life. It is never only about playing the game…it is more often about our love and appreciation of the many diverse artistic aspects of game of chess.
Toronto based artist Mike Magnan is a recent arrival on the scene and has already made quite a name for himself, his art having been published on a number of well known Canadian and internationally respected chess sites. Mike recently created a blog exhibiting some of his work on many perspectives of chess. I invite the reader to check it out!
