Police Blotter

The United States Chess Federation is conducting the Eastern Class Championship at the Host Hotel this weekend. (see link listed above.)

The Host Hotel has been host to other Chess organizations in the past, most recently over the Christmas Holidays in 2008. It was during this time that an incident was investigated by local police.

It seems two competitors were engaged in a shouting match in the lobby of the hotel. Each was declaring how great they were as a chess player. The scene was broken up, and the guests returned to their rooms.

The following day, this entry was noted in the police log:

December 25, 2008 10:23 PM Investigated complaints of noise at hotel.

Found chess nuts boasting in an open foyer.
