Perhaps no game has captured the intellect and imagination of people as thoroughly as chess. A game of royalty and the common man, of the Middle Ages and the twentieth century, it has a logic and a timelessness that make it unique. Chess Trivia is a journey through the history and influence of this remarkable game. From famous matches to the use of computers, from the quirks of champions to chess in the arts, Chess Trivia tests your knowledge.
What was the name of the Paris cafe which for centuries was the center of chess in France?
What champion once trained by practicing in a smoke-filled room to anticipate poor conditions?

Whether chess is your passing interest, avocation or obsession, Chess Trivia will challenge you.
