Prague chess shop draws fans with vast collection
In Prague's Wenceslas Square, the small state-run shop Chess Connoisseur, led by 57-year-old Rosenblatt, lures chess fans with thousands of books, boards, and sets. Visitors solve the window riddle “White to mate in two” and view translations from Czech to German. Rosenblatt, a former champion, runs the shop since 1949, teaching youth and preserving a world of chess history.
