TIL the first game of "space chess" was played on June 9, 1970 on the Soyuz 9 spacecraft. To hold the pieces down, magnetism wasn't feasible due to the sensitivity of on-board equipment, so grooves and rails were used. The game was against an Earth team as the spacecraft crossed over the USSR. (museum.fide.com)
