Religion and chess
This site has a lot of facts about the connection between religion and chess, and how the church banned chess in the past. I particularly liked this line:

"Charles VI (1368-1422) of France continued to forbid chess. He later became unsane."

Hmm..I don't advise anybody to forbid chess. Not if they want to keep their sanity.

(BTW, I thought the word was "insane")
