In front of the Ministry of Interior building north of the Plaza de la Revolucion, workers wrapped up chairs and tables for the chess games held in the previous day. The games broke the Guinness Records with 12,000 players, among whom there was Fidel Castro. Cuba excels in sports not only in the Caribbean region but also in the world, thanks to its popular sport programmes. Watching the chess game was the large mural on the wall of the edifice, featuring Che Guevara and his famous slogan “Hasta la Victoria Siempre”.
