03/04/2020 – Arnold Schwarzenegger, culturista, hombre negocios, "Terminator", y ex gobernador de California, ha grabado una serie de vídeos graciosos para animar a la gente a quedarse en casa durante la crisis del coronavirus. Pero, ¿qué hacer al estar encerrados en casa durante tanto tiempo? A Arnold Schwarzenegger se le han ocurrido unas cuantas ideas creativas. Una de ellas, es jugar al ajedrez. Eso nos hace recordar también como Schwarzenegger, ex "Mr.Olimpiada", se enfrentó con Garry Kasparov en 2002. Material para pasarse el rato con unas (son)risas. | Imagen: captura de pantalla de un vídeo publicado en YouTube por Morne Bester

Schwarzenegger, Whiskey y Lulu
Arnold Schwarzenegger ha sido extraordinariamente exitoso y popular como actor. Pero las verdaderas estrellas de su vídeo para apoyar la iniciativa "Stay at Home" (quédense en casa) son el asno Lulu y el caballo Whiskey.
Bueno, Lulu sigue teniendo problemas para aprender las reglas del ajedrez:
Here’s your daily Lulu update - she’s not the best chess partner but she’s getting there. If you’ve been putting off something like learning chess with your family, use the time you’d normally be out and about. pic.twitter.com/S3QoBJtO7q
El siguiente tuit provocó una invitación por parte de Garry Kasparov:
You’re too kind, it wasn’t a draw! Thanks for always giving back and teaching chess to kids. Because of your inspiration, chess is part of our after-school programs. Now we have youth chess at every @ArnoldSports festival around the world. I hope to catch up soon & learn more! https://t.co/ZgwUTxZg4S
El tuit y los vídeos con Lulu y Whiskey forman parte de una campaña de concienciación para que le gente se quede en casa durante la fase aguda del coronavirus.

Efectivamente, los vídeos con Whiskey y Lulu son tan populares que Schwarzenegger decidió producir una camiseta camiseta que puede ser adquirida por los hinchas. El 100% de los ingresos serán para ser donados a la escuela de ajedrez que Schwarzenegger fundó en 1992, After-School All-Stars.
Jugar al ajedrez con un asno puede parecer un chiste, pero desde luego, la acogida de la gente es tremenda.
Playing chess with a donkey might be a joke to entertain his audience but Schwarzenegger has time and again shown that he is an avid chess fan.
