I do both bobbin lace and play chess, yes they are similar. Both require
you to think/ do problem solving in similar ways. Think ahead of your
current move, work out where you are going next and plan the next phase.
How often have we studied a pricking before we have wound the bobbins
and tried to work out where to go nest.

I agree Rebecca. My husband is a good chess player but has never learnt
bobbin lace. However he has often studied what I am doing and has detected a
mistake before I was aware of it.
Like chess, he examined the possibilities of pathways and was able to see
the upcoming problem.
Lorelei posted that she compares learning bobbin lace to woodcarving. I
compare learning bobbin lace to chess. In one chess lesson you can learn the
basic moves and play a simple game of chess, but it takes a lifetime to
master the game. I think bobbin lace is like that.
