Wanted: Montclair Players for Photo Shoot

Photographer Kate Albright (kate.albright@gmail.com) of Montclair Local is looking for adult chess players from Montclair NJ to appear in a photo shoot, taken as as they play chess against each other, for a Valentines Day story on love and friendship.

"My study of chess was accompanied by a strong attraction to music, and it was probably thanks to this that from childhood I became accustomed to thinking of chess as an art, and have never regarded it as anything else, for all the science and sport involved in it. And, moreover, an art which in some ways is closer to music than it is customary to think. Perhaps chess and music are drawn together by laws of harmony and beauty which are difficult to formulate and difficult to grasp, or perhaps by something else." - Vasily Smyslov
