Originally posted by buddy2At the Senior Open in Michigan my friend Bob was playing a guy on board 1.

When I saw him fingering the chess pieces and then Bob touching them it grossed me out.
I once played a guy who wore gloves throughout the tournament, although it was the middle of summer. That would arouse my suspicions. Turned out he had a bad case of poison ivy.
Bob and I went to lunch later and I suggested we wash our hands before eating - didn't tell him what I'd seen.

You read it here first people. [b]Chess players don't bathe and smell bad too! Probably a lot like a comic book convention.[/b]
