Many people from all over the world play at this venue and it has a reputation for being a "norm" factory since it happens quite a lot there. Here is a link to give you an idea http://www.firstsaturday.hu/1405/index.htm Something like that might work to actually start a physical gathering and then work towards a festival once a year. At least you can see what needs improvement on a monthly basis and and also how you can attract people to visit or attend. One other aspect is, how would chess be celebrated ?, is it just a playing venue ?, will there be stalls selling chess games and chess game novelties ?, what about food ? and so forth. <br /><br />In addition, how would you highlight chess and its history, its origins and its availability ?.<br /><br />Here is another web link to a producer of chess games in Poland (Europe) called Sunrise Chess & Games. Their wholesale web site is www.thechesssets.com There very strong range of chess game equipment and styles as seen in their online catalogue is extra ordinary.<br /><br />But remember to promote chess in a festival, you need food and refreshments and you need security.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13102526410781648580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7389194023067400715.post-10256372405938920362014-02-04T20:19:48.933-08:002014-02-04T20:19:48.933-08:00Genius Kerry...
