"The chessboard is the world, the pieces are the phenomena of the universe, the rules of the game are what we call the laws of nature" HUXLEY
PAWN TO BE WILD
Violent outbursts of "chess rage" have been reported in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Fed-up librarians banned the game after unruly players and fans hurled foul-mouthed abuse as tempers ran high. "We had five or six tables going, with little groups standing around watching," said librarian Moncena Rowley. But the atmosphere soon deteriorated as rivalries built up. The spokeswoman said: "It was boisterous language, which was just not appropriate."
