The Columbus Park in New York Chinatown has regulars who play Chinese chess from morning to sunset. Mr. Wing Chin, known to everyone as Blind Man Chin, plays Xiangqi, Chinese chess, game after game until the sun sets. He then takes train home to Brooklyn. Chin plays by memory. Chin, 60, has youthful memories belonged to Toisan, China. He immigrated to Chinatown in 1978. He and his family later moved to Brooklyn, but he has returned to Columbus Park at least three times a week over the last 25 years. During the blackout last summer, the chess players stayed through the night using candlelight. Writes Andrea Elliott, "every day, groups of men began to gather around 10 a.m. to watch, play and sometimes bet on games. As the sun moved overhead, the men lift the tables to the shade of the mulberry trees. . . At sundown, the players reluctantly go home." There are younger Chinese chess players. They immigrated from Fujian province.(Source: Andrea Elliot, The New York Times,. Nov. 14, 2003)
