"Does anybody know how this worked? My guess is that there is a guy in a robot suit.
I have serious doubts that in 1938 they could build a robot articulate enough to manipulate the pieces
even if it was fully remote controlled." http://www.makezine.com/blog/archive/retro/6.html
This Sunday morning I cleaned part of my library and found the photo of Pelé playing inside the barber shop in Santos city. Santos city is a beach city far around 50 km from São Paulo city. Pelé played for Santos during many, many years. And he used to play draughts in this place in Santos where he used to go to cut his hair.
In the another attach you will see Pelé playing during the Chile World Cup, 1962. The another player is Djalma Santos which was also a very strong futebol player.

Some times a large group forms around the players cheering on
their favourite as if it’s a baseball game."
