The city of chess
Kalmyks are very fond of playing chess. Every day, local residents come to the main square in Elista to spend the evening playing another game. Chess in Kalmykia is not just a beautiful feature for tourists, it is not a fleeting fashion hobby. This is a truly national idea, raised to a cult.
