  • Chess Poetry

    Just though I'd share a little something we did a while back ... a shorty publication of chess poems!

    Chess Poetry Vol. 1

    http://issuu.com/graphicdeclaration/...ss_poetry_vol1

    Starting next month, every month SoCA (Society of Chess Aficionados) will run a chess poetry pie contest. We'll send you a pie if your chess poem wins! Don't care where in the world you are, if we can send it you'll get it. Seriously, a real pie. And when we have enough chess poems ... we'll publish Vol. 2

      "When he later was asked how he hit upon the idea to let Eve Babitz pose naked with Duchamp, Wasser replied: "Eva was not like other groupies. She was something special. Apart from that she looked phantastic. And I knew that she would enchant Marcel Duchamp. And that's what she did!"

      In June 2015 Wasser made some of the photos he had taken during the Duchamp exhibition 1963 public. In some of them you see the face of Eve Babitz. Julian Wasser's photo has often been quoted and referred to, among others by US WGM Jennifer Shahade. In her version the roles of man and woman are changed and the man is naked."
