I always see pictures of players at the chess board with the typical Chess faces: blank and emotionless. You’ve heard the term “Poker Face” I’m sure, where the players try to wash all emotion from their palette and look as much like members of Tony Soprano’s crew as possible, but Chess Face is just about the same. The only difference is that you occasionally have to rub your forehead because you’re thinking so hard or maybe you look away imagining a subtle combination or what the recipe is for PB&J’s. Any time I look at two players playing Chess it just looks like they’re both trying to ignore me. My advice? Smile, in both games!
