Stroebeck in Saxony prizes chess in its schools with six boards inscribed reward of diligence. Boys and girls win alike three prizes each, to adorn the best room at home and inspire younger players.

A New York Times reporter recounts a neighborly anecdote about mice that staged a clever counterplay to a trap.
