Travel day chess attire.
Parents and Friends Tournament. The shirt matches my Chronos! It's hard to see, but there are embroidered pieces on the front of the shirt.
However I wasn't the only one wearing their chess passion.
Susan Polgar had this beautiful chess shawl she was wearing on one of the days.
Here is a smart chess dad staying warm wrapped up in a chess quilt borrowed from his son's bed. He obviously knows how cold it can be sitting in a big exhibit hall waiting for his son to finish playing. The quilt was custom made for them. Below is a picture of the other end of the quilt. I want one of these for my bed!

Yeah, i saw that picture on Polgar's weblog. Cool outfit. The stuff you show in these pictures is also pretty cool. It certainly shows your passion for chess.

You might say I'm a bit obsessed. I also have chess themed jewelry.
You are so lucky. You get to rub elbows with some of the strongest chess players in the world... and you do it with style! :)
A have a few chess ties which I wear at work.
The vest is snazzy...although I wouldn't wear it myself.
That chess dad looks like Vladimir Putin.
I want that quilt! Although if I had it custom made like the Putin look-alike, I'd have them show a mate in five position or something... that way bystanders could benefit from it too.
Like: I guess I'll have to post the picture of me watching Nakamura playing blitz against one of the NYC coaches. Though I don't look real stylish in that picture.
LEP: It's ladies vest so you'd look kind of funny in it. Though you could where the tie. Does the Mascot wear ascots?
chess: If the quilt maker decides to do more I'll let you know.
I had no idea that there was such a variety of chess attire. The only thing that seems to be missing is chess footwear...
They actually sell these black and white checked sneakers. I don't have a pair because they have absolutely no support, and I have bad feet.
