Chess In The Middle Of The Sea – A Fantastic Beach Attraction

A day out on the beach will be incomplete without lots of games and entertainment. It does not matter whether you are chilling out with friends or having a great time with your family members. Having nothing to play on the beach can make the trip very boring. Most individuals focus on balls, Frisbees and other such stuff when planning games on the beach. However, I was very surprised to find two persons engrossed in a chess match on the beach.

What it the big deal with playing chess on the beach? Well, the two persons in question had waded into the water and had placed a waterproof set isle of lewis chess set on a lifejacket and were enjoying the game with waves lapping all around them.

Well, this was an obvious attraction and all those who visited the beach spent some time watching the duo and shouting suggestions like ’B2 to C5, dammit’. I was really curious to find out how they managed to keep the pieces on the board with the constant movement of the waves.

It turned out that they had used magnetic strips to hold the pieces in place until it was moved by hand. More than the game, fact that duo was looking so cool sitting on water and pondering their next chess move made a huge impression on the visitors. Of course, it was sheer luck that another group playing volleyball in the water did not slam the ball into the chess set. Not only would it have affected the game, it would have sent the pieces to the bottom.

In my opinion, the extra thought and planning that went into the activity made it the perfect one for the beach. There is no doubt that the two persons would have returned home feeling really relaxed after having received so many compliments on their brave venture.
