Chess Championship Chili

   For the Kramnik vs. Leko World Championship match, I am having a small party. I am inviting a few friends over to enjoy the festivities. I bought a few cases  and broke out the demonstration board I got a few years ago. I got this great Chess Championship Chili recipe, I am going to bust it out for Saturday's game.  Now maybe your not having a Chess Championship party, but you should take a copy of this recipe, because you never know, maybe some day you will have to cook for a dozen chess players. So here it is. 
 bon appetite.... Bam
