A Village Where
All Play Chess

TN A plain Of the Hsrz mountains, g few
L miles from the town of Halberstadt. Ger
many, lies the village of Stroebeck. The his
tory of Stroebeck and its people has for
hundreds of years been associated with the
game of chess. 1t is a veritsble chess vii
lage, nursery garden for that ancient game.
1t appears that from earliest childhood
the boys and girls are made familiar with
board and men. At school chess is treated
as an obligatory subject, and is taught sys-
tematicaily. As soon as pupils have mas
tered the moves and the rules Of the game
they are encouraged TO undertake the solu-
tion of chess problems and TO invent new
ones, just as another schoolboy is set TO
making Latin verse.
At Easter there are chess examinations
and tournaments among the school children
Three awards Of honor in the shane Of
chessboards bearing the inscription. The
Reward of Industry" are given BY the vii
lage community. These tournaments are at
tended by lovers of chess from far and near.
During the last half century several chess
congresses Of wide interest have also been
held at Stroebeck.
From very early time the Stroebeckers
have had the privilege Of challenging 20 a
games Of chess any great parsonage who hap
pens to pass through their village. In the
year 1851 the Great Elector'' Of Bran
denburg was challenged in this way. and in
memory of the event presented to the vii
