It doesn't say. The World Chess Hall of Fame was located in Miami from 2001-2009.

Yes, batgirl, I do believe you're right.
And before Miami there was New York, with its two renowned clubs, and New Orleans, with a chess scene going back to Morphy.
And if I hit a really big score, I've always wanted a house shaped like a giant rook. When I tell people this and they ask why, I reply that a house shaped like a giant knight would look stupid.
Didn't Fischer once say that he wanted to build a house shaped like a rook?
