Chess: lets think about this ...

“Jock” the Scottish highlander - in his kilt - out in the snow… maybe on a iced over pond - with a round-ish stone or rock - in hand… decides to hurl it towards another rock -  sitting there on its own -  about 10 feet away.

Let’s say this clansman - with a sense of achievement… managers to hurl that round-ish stone or rock -  in a straight line - getting it to stop - just next to the other stone - the stone sitting 10 feet away.

Being the head of the household - our now recognised  - by others - as the greatest hurler of round-ish stones or rocks - needs to share his enthusiasm and gain recognition.

Now a competition commences…

However as others joined the game of hurling - roundish stones or rocks - towards the stone sitting 10 feet away - our man “Jock” realises improvements to his game need to be made…

The following Sunday morning - “Jock” finds himself outside - with a new round-ish shining stone and with his wife’s broom… 

The rest is history… { vissa }
