There's that massive chess set next to vondelpark and a
chess cafe in the leidseplein. We don't have stuff like that
in the UK.

Just for the record...
I'd be happy to come to Amsterdam, as long as you add some chess into the program. October would be fine for me, and it was Marinka that wanted to go to the coffee shops, not me. I stopped smoking Hash 6 years ago, and it'd probably make me whitey 😛
Must have been strong stuff !
The Philosophers Hotel is really nice, and beware The Jolly Joker Coffee Shop 😉

Originally posted by Thequ1ckIt's true, the massive chess set is at the Max Euwe square, right next to Leidseplein.. I'd say an excellent area to have several parts of the day:
How can you not want to play chess in Amsterdam?

-Waterboat tour can start there
- Rijksmuseum is just 5 mins away from there
- Fast food all around there as well as cheap tourist restaurants
- Large coffeeshop: The Bulldog: Snoop Dog just shot a video there a couple of weeks ago
- Party's can be held there too, ranging from bars to clubs (Melkweg, Paradiso)
- Chess can be played, even outside on the huge chess board (althouh not sure if it's a all-year thing)
I'm in!
Looking forward to meet some of you 😉
