Hyper Slide is an electronic action game from Hasbro.

It works something like Simon, except that instead of having to push a button as the color is lit, you have to slide a disk under the bridge as the color is spoken.

Plus: It comes with a rubber band to put under the bridge for solo play. Minus: No way to turn off the sound. And it looks like it will get old fast.

Chessbase ran a series of articles by Kiril Penušliski on the use of Chess as a subject within art.

The first included works by Georges Braque, Marcel DuChamp, and Henry Matisse. The chessboards are prominent in the works, but at least one of the paintings seems like it’s about a game of Checkers, rather than Chess.

His second article is on the works of Ilija Penušliski, apparently a family member of his.
