Very surprising to me, as In all my years of playing in, and watching coverage of the world of chess, I have never seen such a social scene as this.

Nevertheless, there is a vibrant chess bar in Oslo called The Good Knight. I made the effort to visit when I was there and played in one of their blitz tournaments. The opposition was strong but the drinks (like everywhere in Oslo) were very expensive. I did ask if Carlsen had visited and was told he has popped in on many occasions.Ian Thompson wrote: ↑Tue Feb 14, 2023 11:21 pmExcept that the pub is in Toronto (see https://chess24.com/en/read/news/carlse ... ess-league)Nick Burrows wrote: ↑Tue Feb 14, 2023 2:32 pmIt looks like chess is really booming In Norway!
