​How Chess connect people
- The girl from Singapore -
The player is from Singapore. She came to the market for shopping with her friend. This is the first time she meets the chessman and plays chess with him. She is very confident and outgoing. However, much to her surprise, she lost......
​Nevertheless, she was still very happy playing chess in the market.
- the Little Boy, Tim -
Tim came to the market with his parents. He is only 7 years old and loves chess. Also, he enjoyed playing chess here.
He was serious about the play with his brow wrinkled during the game. Then he smiled shyly when Norman told me he won. He was happy but also decided to practice more......
​Both Tim and Norman like chess although they are in different ages. But they are happy when playing chess.
- Old friends -
Having been playing chess in the market for 8 years, Norman made a lot of good friends by playing chess. Some of them will come to the market, playing chess with him every Sunday. For them, chess is a link between them and a symbol of this market.
They will spend hours playing chess with Norman or just stand by to talk with him. Sometimes, they also hang around in the market and come back to watch him playing with the passers-by. Maybe the passer-by will become one of them.
