    CNN PRODUCER NOTE     ander says the chess tournament, which took place on June 10, 2012, happened at city hall. The chess federation of Iceland was promoting the game and challenged members of Iceland's parliament to partake in the event, according to ander. He says the tournament was open to the public and it encouraged people to play against the country's politicians. 'A highlight, in my opinion, was the young girl winning against the Education Minister of Iceland in chess,' he says, which is what he captured in his iReport video. 'Chess is a game of the minds.'
