| | |  Chess magic inspired by Harry Potter
A chess competition with a magical twist will be taking place soon. Chess Wizards of the North wants junior players to compete in the historical setting of the University of York St John while dressed as wizards.
The idea for the contest was conjured up by Chesterfield man David Bentley, who was inspired by the huge popularity of the new Harry Potter chess magazine, which we reported on last week.
Over 47 issues readers can collect a complete Harry Potter chess set while learning how to play the classic game.
My personal favourite concerning the rules of this competition is:
Quote:
Only Wizards properly dressed shall be admitted. Conical hats may be removed during play.

I can't believe I missed the first article and me obsessed with the news and all ... *the sound of sarcasm*
But I love chess so I have to admit that's neat. I'd love to watch it. I hope there's a follow up with pictures *drops hint the size of Saturn* I couldn't get Jupiter, and well ... I'm not talking about Uranus ... *cough*
But I love Chess pity I'm no good at it, but dang if I don't love it. This would be so cool to watch. | |
