“It is impossible to win gracefully at chess. No man has yet said “Mate!” in a voice which failed to sound to his opponent bitter, boastful and malicious.”*…
… but perhaps the offense is muted if the call is remote.
Electronic gaming is huge– and growing, As Rolling Stone reports…
The gaming industry, fueled by platforms like Twitch and YouTube, has surged into a multi-billion-dollar powerhouse, projected to exceed $207 billion in 2026. These platforms do more than showcase gameplay—they cultivate vibrant, interactive communities where fans engage in real time, from live chats to virtual watch parties. Games like League of Legends, Call of Duty, Counter-Strike and Fortnite have become a cultural phenomenon, drawing in over 2.6 billion gamers globally, a number that continues to climb each year. Mobile gaming, accounting for over 60% of global gaming revenue, plays a significant role in this growth, making gaming accessible to a broader audience than ever before…
But as Danny Robb explains, using tecnology to play games remotely has a long history…
In 1897, the United States House of Representatives held a series of chess matches to find their most skilled players. The five winners were pitted against counterparts in the British House of Commons. But while the Americans sat down to play in Washington, D.C., their opponents sat in London. The players received moves by telegraph, and sent responses back over wires that crossed the Atlantic.
By this point, “cable chess” had been slowly evolving for decades. Historian Simone Müller-Pohl argues that this form of long-distance chess play offers insight into the cultural and political currents of the industrial era.
By the mid-nineteenth century, she explains, there was a growing sports culture in Europe and the US. Industrial technologies enabled more people to attend games and follow along from a distance. A growing middle class fostered this sporting culture, which came to include chess.
“Weekly,” Müller-Pohl explains, “the liberal and intellectual elites of the time assembled around chess boards in Paris, Berlin, Warsaw, Vienna, Moscow, Rome, and London.” Interest in the game spread, and chess clubs emerged. As clubs arranged tournaments and standardized chess rules, Müller-Pohl argues that chess “was gradually turned into a sport.”
Correspondence chess grew along with the game, in part thanks to cheap and efficient postal services. When the telegraph emerged on the scene, the application to chess was almost immediate.
“It was telegraphy’s fathers who pulled the strings behind the first schemes for cable chess,” Müller-Pohl explains. In 1844, inventor Samuel Morse arranged chess matches on a new telegraph line between Baltimore and Washington, D.C. “All of the 686 moves necessary for the seven games played were transmitted without mistake or interruption,” Müller-Pohl writes.
Not long after, in 1845, inventor Charles Wheatstone attended a demonstration in London. Chess legend Howard Staunton played against his rival George Walker over the South Western Railway line between Portsmouth and London. Müller-Pohl describes how witnesses found the match “rather tedious,” but it received a lot of press. This was partly the point—the matches demonstrated and advertised the capabilities and accuracy of the invention.
The Staunton match had another interesting aspect. Müller-Pohl points out that “the lines were still used for ordinary traffic during the games, allowing a group of chess players from Southampton to have every move telegraphed to them.” A bit like modern e-sports, spectators could observe the virtual match…

As we note that what’s old is new again, we might recall that it was on this date in 1958 that Chuck Berry’s “Johnny B. Goode” was released. It peaked at number two on the Hot R&B Sides chart and number eight on its pre-Billboard Hot 100 chart. Considered “the first rock & roll hit about rock & roll stardom”, it has been covered by many, many other artists and has received many, many honors and accolades, among them being ranked 33rd and 7th, respectively, on Rolling Stone’s 2021 and 2004 lists of 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. It was also included as one of the 27 songs on the Voyager Golden Record (a collection of music, images, and sounds designed to serve as an introduction and record of global humanity’s achievements, innovations and culture, to alien/otherworldly inhabitants).
Apropos the piece above, it was released by Chess Records.

25 YEARS GONE: REMEMBERING LULU’S ROADHOUSE
It’s been 25 years since the final notes faded from Lulu’s Roadhouse, but for those who danced, sang, and lived through its heyday, the memories remain as vivid as ever. Once hailed as the world’s largest nightclub bar, Lulu’s wasn’t just a music venue—it was a rite of passage, a community hub and a temple to rock ‘n’ roll in the heart of Kitchener.
Opened in April 1984 by Toronto entrepreneur Karl Magid, Lulu’s transformed a former Kmart at 4263 King St. E., Kitchener into a 75,000-square-foot music venue. With a Guinness World Record-holding 340-foot bar and a capacity of 3,000, it quickly became a magnet for music lovers across Ontario.
From Chuck Berry to The Ramones, Lulu’s hosted a staggering range of acts, often well past their commercial prime but still capable of electrifying a crowd. Lulu’s featured a dance floor big enough to hold thousands and some idiosyncratic touches like “balloon girls” who sold balloons with meanings based on their colours—among others, red meant a woman who wanted to dance; blue was for men looking to show women a fun time; yellow meant shy; and purple simply meant horny.
Lulu’s played host to Canadian icons like Kim Mitchell, David Wilcox, Trooper and Colin James, as well as international legends and Rock and Roll Hall of Famers such as James Brown, Alice Cooper and The Everly Brothers. The venue’s eclectic bookings meant you could see Conway Twitty one week and Motörhead the next.
Behind the scenes, figures like Rob Cressman of Major Talent Agency worked tirelessly to bring big names to town, often booking regional tours to make Lulu’s a viable stop. Artists were paid in cash, and trust was everything—Del Shannon once asked Cressman to hold onto $30,000 until his next visit.
The venue’s charm wasn’t just in its headliners. The house band, featuring guitarist Peter Paladino, was a major draw, touring other cities and even traveling in their own bus. For many, the house band was the best show in town.
Bill Wiley, a DJ from FM 108 and frequent MC at Lulu’s, conducted over 350 interviews with artists during his time there. Though many of his recordings were tragically stolen 15 years ago, he fondly recalls his interview with James Brown as a career highlight. Among his favourite performances were Sam and Dave, Gary Puckett and the Union Gap, Screamin’ Jay Hawkins, and The Crystals. Wiley remembers Dee Dee Kenniebrew of The Crystals taking a particular liking to him—a memory that still brings a smile.
Even chaos had its place. One night, during a Motörhead and Black Sabbath double bill, the crowd erupted into moshing and stage diving—not something you’d expect to see at a suburban night club. Between sets, a scuffle broke out, adding to the night’s wild lore.
Despite its popularity, Lulu’s could not escape the pressures of changing times. Ownership changes, economic downturns, and evolving musical tastes led to its bankruptcy in 1992. Though it was revived and continued to host major acts into the late ’90s, the club closed for good on April 8, 2000.
Angie Hill—now a popular DJ on Bounce 99.5 FM— was a host at Lulu’s in the late 1990’s until it closed in 2000. She remembers the people she worked with as a family and cherishes the lifelong friendships she made while working there. She remembers how she and other staff would “eat our shitty chicken fingers together … and make a plan of attack for the night.”
Kenny Hollis, who also worked as a host for many years at Lulu’s, reportedly had some of his ashes scattered on former site of Lulu’s.
Mike Harvey, who worked as the Lighting Director from 1993 to 1998, said working at Lulu’s was like being paid to work at a party.
“There will never, ever, be another place like it,” he said.
“The place was just magical, eh,” Robbie Hain, the former house manager, said.
Hain is also working on a book about Lulu’s.
Today, Lulu’s lives on in the hearts of those who experienced it. Ask any regular to name their favorite show, and you will likely get a wistful smile and a list too long to finish. Whether it was George Thorogood playing to an over-capacity crowd, James Brown for $2 on a Tuesday, or Stompin’ Tom Connors fuming over a canceled gig, every night at Lulu’s was a story waiting to be told.
And 25 years later, those stories still echo—loud, proud and unforgettable.
