hang on, I seem to recall some orphan-turned-billionaire single-handedly making St Louis a big chess hub in the US because he made his own private chess museum, his own private chess training quarters, etc. he's basically a giant chess nerd enabled by his massive wads of money. realistically I think I'd be that, being a hermit in my house with my cats for the most part, stepping out into the world just to observe my nerd kingdom.
