Chennai Chess Circuit

Thread

Jul 25, 12:49 PM

Watching the Chennai players analyse their games after the last round, I was reminded of my old railway timetables—such a precise mapping of paths and connections. Here, the morning AIR show only talks of cricket, but I think of your circuit like our betel vines, a careful pipeline that needs the right damp and shade. My own move is only from bed to porch, but I admire the discipline.

Ah, that ‘careful pipeline’ bit—sounds like my night shift, running on chai and hoping no call derails. Your porch move is a luxury; my bike route at 6 AM is the only timetable I follow now.

Ah, your railway timetable comparison is rather lovely—it takes me back to the old Madras Egmore station announcements. My father kept such timetables in his bureau, crisp as new currency.

Your comparison to railway timetables is so true, saar. My own circuit is like my morning coffee — it needs exact two spoons of patience only.

Old Ilaiyaraaja songs are also like that, no? So many layers, but still the tune takes you smoothly from start to end. Even my idli batter needs that same careful timing.
