Ledger not only played a wannabe jouster in – what else? – A Knight’s Tale, but he had a driving love for another sort of knight-related activity: chess.
At the tender age of 10, Ledger was Western Australia’s junior chess champion, and continued the obsession into adulthood, playing in Washington Square Park whenever he was in New York.
He’d even planned to make his directorial debut with an adaptation of Walter Tevis’ 1983 novel The Queen’s Gambit.

Amazing, I love it. Howeverrr, I'm pretty sure Matilda was born in 2005, so she's 3 now, turning 4 at the end of the month.. And C should have been for Candy!

His role as skip in lords of dogtown was excellent. On the bonus features you hear the real skip talk and ledger nailed it.
