Chess Trivia

Off the Wall Chess Trivia is jammed with tons of lit-

tle-known facts, historical gems, and amazing stories - all

you could possibly think of that defines chess. Whether you

are a chess enthusiast or just a dabbler, you will be de-

lighted, amazed and amused by this resource.

Here are a couple of tidbits to ponder. Did you know

that Bobby Fischer, Barbra Streissand, and Grandmas-

ter/murderer Raymond Weinstein all went to Eramus

High School together? Or that Humphrey Bogart hustled

strangers at 5-minute chess for 50 cents a game at chess

parlors in New York Times Square? These fascinating

nuggets, along with everything else you’ve ever wanted

to know about chess, are to be found within this easy-

to-browse e-book.
