Here, that International Chess Tournament has been celebrated, with some famous players like the actual Spain Champion (2008), David Lariño, who participated, with another companier, in a show of chess, on the tallest chair in the World --made in Lucena, because there are a lot of furnitures factories--.This chair is in the Record Guiness Book, because it is 22 meters tall --like a building with 8 flats-- and it is similar than 9000 chairs united.
Then, this weekend, the organization of the Tournament thought to make a show with that chair and, then, David Lariño and other player go up to the chair, in order to play a game of chess.
You can see this chair, on a side of the road close Lucena.
Another player, in this Tournament, has been Magnus Carlsen: a very young Norwegian (18 years old), who is a great promise in this special sport.
