Maybe not, but they claim it is! I am NOT a good chess player but enjoy it enough that I carry a rollup rubber chess board in my car with a bag of cheap plastic chess pieces! At one job in Miami, two colleagues and I retired to a park every day with our sandwiches to play chess. This one is definitely worth the visit to in New York City.
