Chess "Regance Mahogany"

Regance is the unique chess style which has received the name in honor of known Parisian Cafe de la Rejans. Cafe de la Rejans, since 1740, was the center of game in Chess in the capital of France. When this institution has opened, chess players who were going to Prokop cafe earlier have removed here. Here constantly Denis Diderot, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Francois Filidor and Benjamin Franklin met, professional chess fights erupted, and duels of the famous chess players attracted all who were fond of this type of intellectual leisure. For many years in cafe there was marble table of which its owner terribly was proud, at this table in 1798 Chess was played by Napoleon Bonaparte. And the well-known game of Paul Morfi with Garvits became considerable milestone in chess history of institution.

Till 1910 there took place many chess actions, holidays, even remote chess tournament here. The chess history of cafe has ended when it replaced the owner who has converted it in restaurant. Here did not play Chess any more, and of glorious past remind only some remained elements of old situation.
