Mohammed Arrian deportation

a town which wishes to improve its image. The Library on City Road seems rather moribund
at the moment but during 2004 a group of ex-patriates formed a chess club to meet there
on Wednesday evenings. I played some interesting games with Mohammed and his brothers.
These people were actually trying to start something where local people could join in.
Chess is commonly known in Persia and Afghanistan, and indeed it is now being encouraged
in several countries where it was previously banned (Iran for example). It seems that
many people over here think that social development consists of the installation of CCTV
cameras to search out for bad behaviour rather than encouraging people to think.
Games such as chess are a useful means of intereacting in a meaningful way with people
who have no common language. I remember that in my own travels in Iran and Afghanistan
it was easy to find and meet chess players: far easier in fact than it would be in the
UK. One of the reasons for the failure of the chess club was the frequent inavailability
of the key holder of the City library building. This may well seem a familiar problem to
some of those reading this article.
