Dec-21-17 | | Chess Is More: I think the design was great. Nothing wrong about being a little provocative, is it? It's only a logo. An intriguing combination of chess and kama sutra-inspired physical intimacy. Fresh and exciting, if you ask me. |

If you walk through Trafalgar Square or Hyde Park on the weekend couldn't you find 50 chessplayers? Aren't there stone chess tables and people setting up roll out latex boards on any surface, in the larger London Parks, as it is in NYC? |

Really? If you walk through Trafalgar Square or Hyde Park on the weekend couldn't you find 50 chessplayers? Aren't there stone chess tables and people setting up roll out latex boards on any surface, in the larger London Parks, as it is in NYC?> The only time I've seen people playing chess outdoors in London was at the old club on Clapham Common. I used to play there with Andrew Horton-Kitchlew but it shut many years ago. I have never seen anyone playing chess in Trafalgar Square or any of the large parks in London, although it may be happening somewhere. The reason I mentioned that, was that the burghers of Gardens Mall in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, had corralled 326 chess players to take on Ms Polgar in a simultaneous display. I was wondering how good these players were. |

 | | Joshka: <Chess Is More> <provocative> Why is it needed?? Guess todays players are so boring and lack any marketing skills that they decided to mix chess with porn?? The logo is disgusting and they should be ashamed for putting it out there. Suppose they had extra funds to hire some artist to draw up that horrible image seeing that they never put any substantial money into the prize fund!! |

It's out near the place they celebrate as the residence of Sherlock Holmes. I went there once and they have a great selection of books, DVDs and chess sets. Online presence, too, I think. Surely there's more than 50 people who shop there. |

 | | HeMateMe: 221 Baker Street has a chess shoppe? I bet you can find 'elementary' mates there... |
|
Dec-29-17 | | PhilFeeley: No. The chess shop is a few blocks away.
It's 221b, and curiously, it's incorrect according to the addresses around it. |
|
Feb-16-18 | | tgyuid: totally serious |

Jan-25-21 | | oolalimk1: I bought a copy of Queen of the Kings Game in a second hand bookshop in London about fifteen years ago. It has an inscription inside signed Laszlo Munster den 27.06.2001. her father ?? |

 | | offramp: < oolalimk1: ...an inscription inside signed Laszlo Munster den 27.06.2001.> If the signature can be proved to be by the real Laszlo Munster then the book could be worth about 108 million stotinki. |
|
Jan-30-21 | | oolalimk1: I thought his name would be Laszlo Polgar. I thought Munster was an area. Of course I dont know what a stotinki is either ! |

May-03-21 | | cro777: Susan Polgar will retain the title of emeritus director of the Susan Polgar Institute for Chess Excellence (SPICE) which will remain at Webster University. Her role as chess coach will be filled by Webster alumnus GM Liem Quang Le. Her last day at Webster will be May 31. Polgar: "I am so touched today! About 40 past and current SPICE students, their spouses, children, and guests (some from as far as NY, Arizona, Texas, etc.) came to my retirement party." https://pbs.twimg.com/media/E0a4vpq... |
