[BNM] [OT] Chess game

[Hugh Sweeney]

Software, pah! In my day we had to make our own noise and animation.

Like in round-the-house chess. You use an ordinary chessboard but no
clocks. The time your opponent has to make his move is the time it
takes you to get up from the table, out the front door, circle the
house and come back to the table. Soon separates the intellectual
giants from the merely lardy. Great for the summer daze but it does
tend to slow down the endgame as it's hard to concentrate on the board
when you're panting so much you're likely to blow the pieces away.
