Cats Playing Chess

Interest in “The Queen’s Gambit” along with the pandemic lockdown has sparked a huge surge in chess set sales and online chess games. Even Charlie the Chess Cat is watching, while this good boi looks like he might be more interested in getting his human to fill up the food dish instead of watching Beth Harmon dominate the competition.  We’re loving these kitties who are getting in on the act and crushing their opponents with their feline wit and intuition!
