Finding Some People for a Game of Chess

After a few weeks in Taiwan I kind of wondered if there was any chess scene around here, with “here” meaning “Taipei“ back then. I can’t remember how many weeks exactly, maybe around ten or so. For some reason I suddenly recalled that once I’d seen a guy named YWP on ICC (the former legendary chess website), who apparently was from Taipei.

I hadn’t tried to remember that whatsoever; I think I hadn’t even decided that I’d be going to Taiwan when I saw this. Luckily in those days my memory was a bit better; it turned out that I had remembered this correctly.

Contacting the guy on ICC turned out to be a piece of cake, and he turned out to run in a little chess club that operated on Sundays; and we agreed that I would be paying a little visit the next Sunday.
