<description><![CDATA[ The occasion holds particular significance in Soho, where L&#039;Escargot, London&#039;s oldest French restaurant, has long been associated with British chess. The restaurant&#039;s proprietor, Brian Clivaz, is one of the founding members of the Howard Staunton Society, which celebrates the life and legacy of England&#039;s greatest nineteenth-century chess master. Over the years, the historic Greek Street restaurant has welcomed countless chess dinners, lectures and informal gatherings, becoming one of London&#039;s most distinctive meeting places for players and historians alike. ]]></description>
