Het schaakspel is een spannend iets, we moeten goed nadenken, met het schaakbord praten en de haarlokken vragen die uitvallen, en in de laatste schaakfase vinden we het antwoord op chronische kaalheid die niet meer te genezen is. Respectvolle groeten en hartelijk dank.

Me gusta mucho este juego, el ajedrez te hace pensar en cómo lidiar con la caída del pelo, tienes que preguntar al tablero de ajedrez y escuchar la inevitable calvicie crónica. ¡Muchas gracias
