It was in Oak Lake Ontario that the strange shack game was played.

Nick McNaught, who has a cabin nearby, wanted to challenge the mind and see if it was possible to keep the concentration ice-cold.

So he and his friend decided to play chess in each other's ice, and it went beyond expectations.

- It will be like a battle between body and brain.

At first you just want to step up, but after a while it changes.

It becomes almost meditative when you start to accept the cold, he says to the site Narcity.
