”I was walking in Paris in the Jardin de Luxemburg, and as many parisiens know there is a place where chess lovers meet. Usually they are too busy to notice that you are taking photos of them, but I always try if it is possible the permission to take photo, so to shoot very near if I need to. I saw this couple of players, I saw that they were in the middle of game and they didn’t speak at all. I asked them if they would be upset if a take a photo. I didn’t get an answer; they were too concentrate about their game. I started to shoot one, two picture and she realized my question and what I was doing. Anyway she was like dreaming and she continue to think about chess. Anyway a good shoot was [email protected]giorgiosavona.com

GUESS WHO?
Myself (left) and Toronto-born(?) Stephen Boyd at the Gibraltar TradeWise tournament. Stephen is a well known IA, living in France for about 2 decades now. He is also a pretty good player, master strength atleast. Stephen regularly attends the TradeWise tournament, working as an arbiter. We go back decades…I remember Stephen from my junior years! Now a days we limit our competiton to see who has more hair!
