Dennis Bolden, left, 53, and Eugene Ruffin, 41, play chess Monday afternoon at one of the shade-filled picnic shelters near the water at Bay Vista Park at 7000 Fourth St. S in St. Petersburg. The two are part of the Knights of Knowledge Chess Club. They play chess for a few hours almost every day. "It's cool. It's a nice atmosphere," Ruffin said about playing chess in the park. They squared off for six games Monday.
