Chess Anyone?

Many men on Sumatra enjoy playing chess. Often times after work they will meet with their friends to talk, smoke, drink coffee (or alcohol) and play chess. It’s not unusual to have places in traditional markets for drivers to play chess while they are waiting for their clients to shop. A simple wooden chess set here costs around $3.

Chess is one activity that bridges both rural and urban areas. From the biggest city to the smallest village you can find men playing chess. If you like to play chess, you should come to Sumatra. You will never lack for someone to play a good game of chess, but be prepared to inhale a lot of second-hand smoke. Most men on Sumatra like to smoke just about as much as they like to play chess!
