Where is the strangest place you have ever played a game of chess...

    Think back to games you have played in your past, whether it be from a jail cell, or a plane-thousands of miles above the ground. Everyone has a game or two up their sleeves that have taken place in a venue that others may claim is strange. Where was yours?

    Image of a sleeping child's face I've played a game of chess while dreaming against Daniel Rensch.

    No, but the hard steel stairs I was sitting on weren't good for it...however, getting paid to play chess and drink coffee is worth the nuisanse...

    At a wedding reception, played on a serviette with pen-drawn squares and another serviette, ripped into littler squares with hand-drawn figures on the squares ^_^

    I played a game once after a golf tournament with one of the competitors. Outside on the deck. A storm came out of nowhere and I ended up losing pieces of the set. And it was magnetic!

    I played in a chess tournament held at Free Indeed Church (FreeIndeedChurch.com) in Gallatin, Tennessee a couple of years ago. 

    I ended up losing to a fellow Chess.com member who also had organized the tourney, Seth Mallard: http://www.chess.com/members/view/SethMallard

    As you can see from his bullet rating, (~2200), Seth's pretty good, so I don't feel too bad.

    Of course, this was before I became a diamond member here, so we'll see what happens next time!

    I think it was like ten or twenty bucks to enter. Nothing outrageous. I don't remember the exact cost, but remember it being just a drop in the bucket in light of a day of chess fun. Smile

    Yes, but even paying the cost we were free! Smile

    I think someone else already paid what I owed for me because when I asked who we paid, Seth just said, "Don't worry about it man, yours has already been taken care of..." or something like that.

    I played chess in a loundry  room on a camping once.
    We played till 5 o'clock in the morning and played it there because there was light and it was raining outside.
