Theoretical background:

The concept of "chess therapy" (also "failure therapy") is a therapeutic approach which will be continued in two nursing homes in Pergomas, as well as in a Parisian hospital as recreation for the young patients. The data will be refined in the course of various interventions with blind people and with autistic youth, for whom a dance following a game of chess allowed them to reposition themselves socially.

Description:

Installation of a game of chess with two rounds, five minutes per player for each round.

Joseph and I wear a swimming cap and swimming goggles on our eyes. We start the parts which will finish with two wins for Bruno Mendonça (one with white pieces, the other with black).

The heat of the room where we were playing undoubtedly bothered Joseph Mouton, who is not used to wearing swimming goggles on top of his own glasses.
