Where can a visitor go to play chess in Litchfield County, Conn.?
| @chelfunky It wasn't on my list. My 11-year-old son dragooned me into seeing it. But wow. |
|
| @lsanger Tx for tweeting on the Carr/Shirky/Sanger/ et al forum. http://tinyurl.com/6qabys I've been so blitzed I've barely had the time. |
|
| @brentrowland I'll leave that one alone. Thanks. :-) |
|
| @agahran Me too, and it sometimes catches stuff that Twitter "Replies" missed. |
|
| Chess: Black resigned after 10. Nxd5+. http://tinyurl.com/633j83. Continuation should leave White up a queen & pawn to a piece. |
|
| Chess players speak of "ideas." They also speak of "refutations" of those ideas. Is chess a form of discourse? |
|
| @wilsongonewild Thanks. One would hate to think of Twitter sinking into the swamp. |
|
| I haven't been on Twitter for several days -- or even online, for that matter. And yet I feel fine. |
|
| @GaryCorby Chess: another FL Attack. I overlooked a fork (should've played 7. Qa4), blundered (30. g3), but won http://tinyurl.com/5mhuy7 |
|
| In chess, it's better to have more pawns than your oppenent, so when you blunder (35. a6) it's not fatal. http://tinyurl.com/5mhuy7. |
|
| @wilsongonewild Checkers, eh? Seems tame compared to chess. |
|
| Can got my tongue? No, she's got my chess board. http://tinyurl.com/6kr5xo |
|
| Chess fans: Better check, it might be mate. http://tinyurl.com/5k8pg8 |

| @josephinedamian O chess! Twill be the undoing of us all. (Is there a 12-step program for the addiction?) Hang in there: I have faith in U |
|
| @debra47 Cool weather? What I wouldn't give for that. Let's trade places. Come to Chicago, where it'll be hot & muggy for the next 2 mos. |
|
| @ASaslaw I think it did work, considering the context & NYer readership, but this is something on which reasonable people can disagree. |
|
| @ASaslaw NYer was thinking: Let's lampoon these trogs who call Obama an anti-Amer. Muslim terrorist. Satire has been mag's watchword 83 yrs |
|
| @zephoria I hope you feel better. |
|
| @twOBAMA @madsimian @jeanneeng @beamrider9 Agree with all of you about Obama NYer cover. We've lost our sense of irony & the absurd. |
