What is the source?
Ches in the olympics??!
Sort:
"The World Bridge Federation (WBF) — representing the card game of bridge — is similarly disgruntled. Like the chess federation, the WBF has been lobbying since 1995 to claim a piece of the Olympic spotlight. In their efforts, both organizations have even offered to submit players to drug testing in order to conform to the Olympics' anti-doping code standards. Once again, however, both bridge and chess were denied entry last year."

I think they're still trying. And I think it is a bad idea
I've never heard of ches. What sort of game is it?
Present Olympics is only for outdoor games & chess like indoor games, so chess can't go on there. But in future may be Olympics games comes for indoor games also.
.. I think this is an good idea!!! we can create the "Indoor Olympics Games" like that one?
Could it be? Are the rumors true?.... I've just heard that they are actually in serious consideration of having CHESS as an olympic event!...
Is there any truth to this bold claim, or is this just one, cruel and insensitive tease?
Anyone know?
