Chess piece

The Wasteland is an overwhelming complexity, filled with a plethora of literature references. Ignoring the allusions, the piece itself shifts between different speakers and scenes so blatantly makes this especially difficult to digest. In one moment, a woman is reminiscing about riding on a sled when she was young. Then BAM. She’s suddenly staring at a dead sailor that’s decaying at the bottom of the sea.

most games are. The qualm would come with the second part of the definition given thus far, that which is “involving physical effort and skill”. Agreed with by some, and seen in the New York Time’s article on the issue “activities like bridge and chess are not sports because they lack the required element of physical activity”.
