The Great Halloween Chess Match!

It was Halloween, and time for some fantastic frivolity. So we decided to have a chess match, but make it sort of . . . unusual. So we invited our friends the lizards and the dinosaurs, plus a whole herd of other critters who came out just to have some fun.

You'll recognize some of our participants from prior blips. There are the Dancing Girls and their trusty steeds. And the crittergators, of course, acting as judges, or perhaps referees: Everybody, please stay IN your spot until it's time to move! One at a time, please!

I am happy to report that only several mild skirmishes broke out, and the refs had to get involved. They were broken up quickly. (Chess can be SUCH a violent sport, you know.)

We hope your holiday was festive, with more treats than tricks! Happy Halloween!

The tune to accompany this whimsical little game is Peter Gabriel, with Games Without Frontiers.
