Today, 04-01-2004, the United Nations declared the game of Chess against
international law.  One comment from the assembly, 'This invention has
done more to promote warfare than all the guns and bombs.'  Any country
which continues to advocate and manufacture this game could face severe
penalties.

Why pick on chess?  Why isn't the UN doing anything to combat the
proliferation of chess variants and other weapons of mental distraction?

Since someone seems to have taken this message seriously, let me point out
that Sue D. Nym is obviously a pseudonym, and this message was posted on
April Fools Day in the time-honored tradition of reporting fake news
stories on April Fools Day.
