I just like to play chess | Bono & Bob Dylan interview, 1984

Bono: Chess, do you play chess?
Dylan: Yeah, I play chess. Are you a chess player?
Bono: I am a chess player.
Dylan: I’m not that good actually.
Bono: I’ll challenge you to a game of chess.
Dylan: I don’t have it right now actually, I just don’t have one on me, but the next time you see me!
Bono: Oh, you can get these little ones you know, that you can carry around.
Dylan: Yeah, I take them on tour all the time, but nobody in the band will play me.
Bono: Really?
Dylan: Yeah, they say it’s an ego trip. They say I want to win, I don’t want to win, I just like to play.

Bono: What’s your opening game?
Dylan: My opening game, you mean king’s pawn up two – and all that? I don’t know.
Bono: You just takes it as it comes.
Dylan: Yeah. I don’t really play that seriously.
Bono: Well, I thought I did until I played Adam’s brother Sebastian – he was only about 13 years old and he beat me!
Dylan: Somebody may have a chess game here.
Bono: I’d love to play.
