The Black Chess Supersoft T-Shirt from Black History X sets BLACK in bold retro stripes with chess pieces standing in the letterforms. Graphic, deliberate, nothing wasted.

Chess rewards the person thinking three moves ahead. So does everything else.

Maurice Ashley became the first Black international grandmaster in 1999, which is late for a game that is fifteen hundred years old and came to Europe through North Africa and Moorish Spain in the first place. The game travelled one way and the credit travelled the other. That happens a lot.

Patience is not passivity. It's position.

This one is for the ones playing a longer game than anyone realises.
