HAVANA, December 16 (Armando Soler / www.cubanet.org) - Hundreds, perhaps
thousands, of the workers and students who showed up at the Plaza of the
Revolution December 7 to play chess in a try for a place in the Guiness book of
records were coerced, said some of those present. To boot, some of them were not
chess players and don't even know the rules of the game, they said.
"That was brazen. Of the eleven thousand - plus they said were there, a
bunch of my fellow students, myself included, don't know how to play and are not
interested in chess," said one student of the Fernando Aguado Technological
Institute.
"It was convenient for me. Many of us, at the end, we took the boards
and the chess sets. I don't know how to play, but my brother likes it,"
said one telephone company employee who refused to give his name.
