Anyone know any places to play chess in Rome? Preferably cafés or bars rather than formal clubs.

Thanks GP. I don't really want to play him because I've heard that he excommunicates anyone who takes his bishops.

And he gets third party assistance.

But he is not allowed to mate anyone, so you don't have to worry about losing.
