The Past
This is the beginning of my fascination for chess, although if you look clearly you can see why I never made the grade. This is shortly after the chess became a sexy sport in Iceland and somehwere on my blog you can see my art piece (part of it) on the meeting between Fischer and Spassky.
For some reason I find this photograph, very Bergmanesque. I am sneaking through my mothers tapestry.
This is an all time favourite. I sent it to a friend who was/is working with Baltasar Kormákur, and this was one of the inspiration images, for the main character. The film is filmed on Flatey - where I was baptised and it was a huge inspiration for the weaver. I think Guðmundur Páll took the picture.

mmmmmm, Olga, I don´t like chess because it´s a game that excites to me too much, and I think I am an impatient and very nervous person and it´s a too tactical game for me, buff.
yes, probably the checkers or the othello relax to me much more and playing these games I´ m feeling comfortably.... when I´m playing
a question
- Do you think chess´s game it´s really a table´s game or an sport?
greets
the top picture is so nice!
oooo magnus, massoud, maggi mús, what a surprise to catch you here.
It is me and Jón Ragnar, and it is lovely - although my favourite is the bottom one.
@ emili

Preciosa foto ... sencillamente genial.
Tienes que hacer un viajecito a Rúsia o a cualquier república ex-soviética (Ucrania por ejemplo) y verás como la gente se junta en los parques por las tardes a ¡jugar al ajedrez!
Preguntaselo a tu jefe el ruso y verás.
Me encantaria irme por Rusia, mis dos hermanos petits han dicho que quieren hacerlo por transibirian. armenia, me gustaria o por alli.
un deporte un poco mago.
