I remember reading a short story online sometime last year and it really got me deep down inside. I added the website address to my favourites but due to a recent virus attack on my comp a few weeks ago, i lost the address. does anyone have it?
it was about a young man who was once a chess champion but due to some reasons, was reduced to making a livelihood in a coffeehouse by playing with customers. if he won the game, he would win a cup of coffee ...
so one day he meets the devil who offers to play a game of chess with him. if he loses, the devil will claim his soul and bring him to hell. if he wins, the devil will offer the crystal chessboard, to him, and he can sell it for a considerable sum of money.
he wins the game.
i really long to read it again so pls, if anybody knows the website address, pls post it here. thx alot.

That sounds a lot the "The Devil went Down to Georgia" with a chess set filling in for a fiddle. Allegedly, real-life chess champion Wihelm Steinitz became so senile toward the end of the nineteenth century that he challenged GOD to a game, in which he offered to spot the deity pawn and move.

I don't know about the website, but you may want to check out the movie "The 7th Seal" by Ingmar Bergman.
Still, after a brief (way to brief) search, I could not find what you were looking for.
