Tornado, Part 8 - Chess won't wait

Every day, a group of chess players, most of them speaking Russian, descend on the 4 stone chess boards in McDonald Park's center and play chess all day, an outer cousin of the chessery at Washington Square Park in Greenwich Village. The day after the tornado, in the midst of all the fallen trees, they simply came in and moved fallen trunks and branches out of the way and sat down to play as if nothing had changed. Chess won't wait, biyatches!!!
