Keith plays chess? did anyone else know this?

______________________

I "suspected" he knew a little bit about the game because I have heard him mention a few of the pieces in interviews... such as saying things like oh..."we were just pawns" ...or... "the Queen was the strongest piece but it is the king that decided the game"... etc. etc. Not verbatim, but I have heard him say things along these lines. Since I am a chess fan myself, I always took note of this and wondered.

Using common parlance is hardly a criteria for suggesting he plays the game.

He does seem to have a problem with one of his friends becoming a Knight, it has to be said....plus most of his earliest musical influences were on Chess .....

True, in the US tons of folks use sports references when talking, who know nothing or care little for the games themselves! Who hasn't ever said check mate in a conversation?

I may be an oddball, but I don't believe I have ever used the term 'checkmate' in conversation. Same is true with 'king me'. I will be on the lookout for future opportunities. Smiley

Until then I'll stick with 'gotcha' and call it good.

Mrs Richards looks fantastic. Great pic of Keith with Boris Johnson (the Mayor of London, for those of you who dont know him) He's as mad as a box of frogs. Would have loved to have been eavesdropping on that conversation.

Rolling Stone Keith Richards wins GQ Writer of the Year award

By Anita Singh, Showbusiness Editor
10:15PM BST 06 Sep 2011

Rolling Stone Keith Richards was named Writer of the Year at the GQ Men of the Year Awards for his autobiography, Life, and disclosed that it is being made into a film.

The problem, he said, will be finding an actor who can portray him on screen.

“There are feelers out at the minute [but] I’m in no rush right at the moment. Also, how are they going to find me? The idea of a succession of Keith Richards coming down is horrifying,” he said.

The award was presented by Johnny Depp, who would be the frontrunner to play Richards in any biopic. Depp famously used the Stones guitarist as inspiration for his Captain Jack Sparrow character in the Pirates of the Caribbean films.

Richards’ autobiography won high praise when it was first published last year. It recounts his debauched adventures in rock’n’roll.

Richards was among the famous faces who attended the awards ceremony at the Royal Opera House.

George Osborne received the Politician of the Year award but avoided a potentially awkward encounter. Peter Mandelson was due to hand out the prize but Mr Osborne’s office refused to allow it, sourced said. Dylan Jones, GQ’s editor, stepped in as a last-minute replacement.

Hugh Laurie was named Musician of the Year for his new sideline as a blues artist. Other winners included golfer Rory McIlroy as Sportsman of the Year, Rob Brydon as Comedian of the Year, Sherlock’s Benedict Cumberbatch as Actor of the Year, Professor Brian Cox as TV Personality of the Year and Doctor Who’s Matt Smith as Most Stylish Man of the Year.

Special awards went to Bill Nighy, Sir Trevor Nunn and Olympics 2012 chief Lord Coe.

Woman of the Year was Lara Stone, the model. Other women who attended the ceremony included Emma Watson, who was there to present an award to photographer Mario Testino.

Full list of GQ Men of the Year winners:

Comedian - Rob Brydon

Solo Artist – Tinie Tempah

Chef – Heston Blumenthal

Politician – George Osborne

Most Stylish Man – Matt Smith

Sportsman – Rory McIlroy

Designer – Tommy Hilfiger

Woman of the Year – Lara Stone

Lifetime Achievement – Duran Duran

Man of Next Year Surprise Award – Lord Coe

International Man of the Year – Bradley Cooper

Band of the Year – U2

Writer of the Year – Keith Richards

The Armed Forces Special Award was shared by a number of ex-servicement who have been assisted by Help for Heroes.

I'm getting really confused. Am I really the only one here who thinks Keith is looking and acting like a clown. Showing up on these ridiculous jetset party's and receiving ridiculous awards. Always smiling and laughing stupid. For God's sake, he didn't write a book, someone else did it for him. He has become the man he accuses Jagger to be already for a long time. I understand that at his age you can't rock anymore like you used to, but please, grow old gracefully, trying to make some good music and not end like Elvis in Vegas.
