scacchi clay stop motion - chess clay stop motion

Let's hope this happens on election day! I'll be on pins and needles..and not following anything on tv..will resurface Wednesday..I hope..



Awesome isn't it?? (and I actually recognize some moves)
claymation of the chess game Roesch - Willi Schlage (Hamburg, 1910).
The position after 13...Bh3, and the ones that follow, were used in Stanley Kubrick's movie "2001: A Space Odyssey" for the game between Frank Poole and the HAL-9000 Super Computer.

  1. isn't it neat? Dirk and I used to play chess when he was 7, even did the 'giant chess tournament' in town.. but he lost interest. So we're 'trying' to get that interest going again.. that is why I recognize 'some' moves (castling!).. and imagine the patience you need to do this claymation type..
    I'm avoiding news today so..I have one song possibility for tomorrow and have to look for another one, 'in the event' of a major let down..

    hugs
