Crown Description:

Chess is a game without story/narrative, and much of the tropes about it are either speculation or blatant shoehorns. We have discussed in TRS several options. The options are usually not exclusive, so feel free to vote up/down several different ideas. If tabletop is not cut, but the sandbox fails to gain consensus, it is approval of the current tropes.
   18 (Yeas:18 Nays:0)
Keep TabletopGame.Chess, with the fixes presented at Sandbox.Chess
   8 (Yeas:10 Nays:2) 5.00 : 1
Cut the Characters.Chess page as a pile of shoehorning and misuse.
   8 (Yeas:11 Nays:3) 3.67 : 1
Create ReferencedBy.Chess for works that reference chess note 
   7 (Yeas:10 Nays:3) 3.33 : 1
Create UsefulNotes.Chess for Chess's history/competitive side (Metagame elements like Deep Blue).
   -10 (Yeas:1 Nays:11)
Move the tropes to JustForFun.Chess
   -10 (Yeas:1 Nays:11)
