Kids and young hopes (most of them talentless, only a few future masters or regular players) escorted by families, their ambitious fathers and worrying mothers walking among the boards.
4.
Chess lovers (age 30-60 /plus healthy and active elder people), usually loners, young retirees or lotto winners or happy middle-class members) who know they won't win but they hope in
