ROYAL CHESS

J and N. This was during this weekend's exhibition of Spanish Chess Champion Miguel Illescas at the Miramar Palace in San Sebastian. While he played against 25 grown-ups seriously, the children found a "little corner" of the Palace to play between themselves for fun. The Miramar Palace used to be the summer residence of the Kings of Spain, so one could call this, playing Royal Chess :-)


Esto fue durante la exhibición de este fin de semana del Campeón de España de Ajedrez Miguel Illescas en el Palacio de Miramar de San Sebastian. Mientras él jugaba contra 25 adultos seriamente, los niños encontraron un "pequeño rincón" del palacio para jugar entre ellos para divertirse. El Palacio de Miramar solía ser la residencia de verano de los Reyes de España, así que podríamos llamar a esto, jugar al Royal Chess :-)

    children that focus are so different of the adults.
    as usual, one girl and five boys. education didn't change very much since one century, in fact.

    thank you for your words on my blog.

    Hi Pet,

    A few things impress me about this post:

    1. The spectacular location for a game of Chess.

    2. I wished someone had taught me to play chess as a child. I'm so impressed that your boys play so well.

    3. You write your posts in TWO languages!!!! I struggle with just one :)

    Nice Hydrangeas.

    Playing chess in such a beautiful building must be a refined experience :) I also greatly admire the people who are able to play chess.

    Hipnotizante el juego, y saber el dato que el resto de niños jugaban por los alrededores a sido como volver a la realidad, a lo común.
