This one’s for all the kings and queens out there — it’s National Chess Day, and we thought we’d mark the occasion by bringing you a gallery of celebs playing chess!
Chess is one of those games that’s really great for any occasion … like hanging out with Jake Paul or Kelly Bensimon!
It’s also pretty great for when you’re in the mood to spend a cozy day at home with good company — like Amy Schumer!
Oh, and if you’re ever a tinge bored on vacation, breaking out the chessboard can always liven things up … especially when you’ve got an opponent like Winnie Harlow!
