Decades of chess rule

Holy crap, how long does a game of chess take?!
- My great-uncle used to play chess by mail.
Who's the other guy?
- Franco Colombu, a fellow bodybuilder and close friend of Schwarzenegger's
  
  Aww. He died.
  I'm sad Arnie lost a good friend. Arnie is a questionable human, but still no one deserves to lose a life long friend
  
  Why does his ear change from oblong to round
I love the sequence here. He's been thinking of that move for 40 years
yet no real use found for en passant
- "Pawns can only move one space, except for their first move, when they can move two" - Statement by the utterly deranged.
  
  I'm already keeping track of the kings and rooks for castling reasons. Remembering whether any of the 16 pawns has moved is too overwhelming and turns IRL chess into a game of who can get away with the other player's bad memory.
Something about a table made for chess bothers me. IDK why though. It makes sense.
- That's not a table. It's a thick chess board with a pedestal.
Wonder if he's ranked
- Just looking loosely at the board I can see he's controlling the center in 2 if not all 3 pictures, so he's at least got good fundamentals. Would be fun to know his rank.
  
  I'd like to see some of his games.
