The onset of warmer weather, as I indicated in a post the other day about an outdoor food festival, has brought with it a
slew of activities to enjoy in the open. Rockefeller Center, where I work, is no exception.
There are Friday morning concerts on the Today
Show and Fox and Friends.
Outside my building today, on the way to the subway or
subway concourse, I beheld a different sign of summer leisure: a chess board. Its pieces were not the small
kind that rest easily on a table, but oversized. They need to be on
the ground.
At the start and end of my lunch hour, when I took
the image accompanying this post, the size of these pieces clearly attracted
onlookers. They couldn’t wait to try their hand at moving the pawns,
knights, rooks, bishops, king, and queen.
New York is all about making one’s move when lighting
upon an unexpected advantage—not unlike chess, played for lower stakes but
far more fun, outside in this sunlit space today.
