Playing chess in Hanoi, Vietnam

Not exactly, but you know. This is Xiangqi or Chinese chess. These two guys were very concentrated playing a game at a corner shop in Hanoi's Old Quarter.
Actually this is a place in which it is quite difficult to get concentration due to the noise, the swarm of motorcycles and the frenzy of the business activities.

Sarajevo, people playing chess at Liberation square

5 October 2008. Beside the Orthodox Cathedral in Sarajevo. People are playing chess (and kibitzing). If you ever go to Sarajevo you'll most likely find some saralijas playing at Trg Slobodenja. We have already brought the territories of the former Yugoslavia to Chess Images, but this time the picture is somehow nicer.
