MEDAN: Chess gambling enthusiasts seemed unperturbed by the
arrival of presidential election candidates Susilo Bambang
Yudhoyono-Jusuf Kalla at a campaign rally at Merdeka Square, here
on Saturday.

The police ignored the presence of the gamblers, who continued
to place bets.

A challenger had to pay the host Rp 20,000 (US$2.12) to play
white and would win 10 times their bet for a checkmate in three
moves. -- Antara
