I read somewhere (in a chess book) that there have been more books written about chess than any other subject.

Is Magnus Carlsen there?  If they want visitors they should invite some high profile guests.

Expect a raid by Plod to check if the venue has the correct 'licence'.  They managed to send darts underground.

Oriental setting
And the city don't know that the city is getting
The creme de la creme of the chess world
In a show with everything but Yul Brynner

Bridge or Chess. Jailhouse here I come!
