I meant to share this yesterday, on #WorldChessDay …

A stamp I collected in my passport book at @boston2026expo.bsky.social
Postage stamp issued by Correos (Spain) in the shape of a pawn chess piece. A custom pictorial postmark for the Boston 2026 World Stamp Show cancels the stamp.

When the badness came he was playing chess again…

—Iain Crichton Smith, “The Chess Player”
from NEW COLLECTED POEMS, @carcanet.bsky.social 2011
#poem #poetry #chess #WorldChessDay
www.carcanet.co.uk/978185754960...
The Chess Player by Iain Crichton Smith When the badness came he was playing chess again. ‘Someone most dear to you,’ they said, ‘has died.’ He scouted round the board and picked the queen. (What use are bishops, knights?) ‘We found,’ they cried, ‘your brother dead. His wounds were in the side.’ ‘Not in the head?’ he said, not looking up. ‘In the head and heart as well,’ they answered. He moved the tall queen delicately as in hope but the king escaped again. ‘Did he say of me anything hopeful?’ he asked savagely, moving a pawn, his head carved to the wood the king was carved from. ‘No,’ they said. ‘“Please tell my brother this. Tell him I’ve understood a very little.” That’s what he told us.’ ‘Well, the chessboard tells me what of heaven or hell I need to know and that’s too much,’ he cried, shifting the queen. (The king escaped again.) He smiled a little with the jaunty pride one sometimes notices in desperate men. ‘You see,’ he said, ‘when you came in just then I had a vision of that very board. They do not know, you see, none of them knows. They’re all quite evidently so far apart. What do they know of each other? I dispose – but each is wooden, in archaic pose.’ And then they saw (each one standing beside the terrible trivial wrestler) with a start that someone most dear to him indeed had died, and stared at him grappling with his mental art, and carefully made ready to depart.

The artist Nichol Wheatley’s photo of artist & author Alasdair Gray playing chess during the creation of the #mural in Glasgow’s Hillhead subway station. The circular chess board was developed by Alasdair & his son Andrew.

Alasdair Gray – an elderly Scottish pedestrian – is facing us, leaning on a table on both elbows. His hands are supporting his forehead. He has grey hair, a white beard, and spectacles. He is pondering a game of chess, being played on a red-and-white chequered chessboard. The board is circular and the squares have been distorted to fit.

On #WorldChessDay, a reminder that I have an absolutely gorgeous book on chess, published by Amber Books.
pressfuturist.bsky.social Avert Your Eyes, Pamela Ganache! @pressfuturist.bsky.social · Jun 14
Today’s my book birthday! Chess Illustrated is out today, published by Amber Books. I grew up playing chess for my school and county, so writing this more than three decades on meant a lot to me.
The spine of Chess Illustrated, beautifully Chinese-bound.
