The quotation used by the US Postal Service could pretty much apply to these taxi drivers who, while waiting for a fare, relentlessly play chess on the hood or trunk of their cars. In all seasons, too...though I really haven't seen them in the rain, but maybe they sit inside?Are you a chess player?

Bibi, that kind of made me smile. Everyday between 11:30am to let's say 2:00pm cabbies park their cars in front of my house and take naps. I guess they are not really into chess or any other board game for that matter. ;)
Look at the wonderful wooden pieces they use too! Such a good game.
I love how they are both instantly ready to move.
A good way to pass the time.
that is so cool. some people have the best habits.
I love how you've cropped this.
I used to play chess with my older brothers when I was a kid & also my son when he was younger. Maybe I will take it up again.
Hi, Lily! Actually, it isn't a crop; I sneaked a shot with my long lens! Yes, I thought about taking up chess again, but then I'd have to buy a taxi! :)
Chest is a fantastic game, that I have not mastered, but I love seeing people especially i the summer sitting on the benches along the Danube and playing it.
magnificently
I think it's an addiction. But a good one.
In the Miami area you would see older Cuban men playing chess at all times of the day and night, too.

A great photo! I wouldn't wait to play chess against those strategic taxi drivers!
