Chess
The Opera Game is one of the most famous chess games in history, played in October 1858 in Paris by the American player Paul Morphy (the white pieces) against two amateurs: the German noble Karl II, Duke of Brunswick, and the French aristocrat Comte Isouard de Vauvenargues (the black pieces).

As a child, I was keen on chess and played it regularly. I was a member of the L'échiquier descartois club. I distanced myself from the game afterwards.
My current interest (on occasion) focuses on analyzing the games: post mortem analysis.
