Sofia City Garden, one of the busiest parks of the Bulgarian
capital, is known as the place where informal open air chess tournaments take
place.
Strolling there on a nice summer day you will witness gangs
of (mostly) elderly men engaged – or sitting and waiting to be engaged –
in chess matches.
Often they are surrounded by agitated spectators. An occasional open-mouthed
tourist flashing his/her camera makes the atmosphere
even more heated.
After a few beers our fellow EVS volunteer Ricardo decided to challenge one of the players. Guess who won.
Chess in the park. |
