Scheveningen - huh?
I recently read Robert Harris's book V2 based on this town. Good book.
Also, there is a chess opening variation named after this place. (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sicilian_Defence,_Scheveningen_Variation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sicilian_Defence,_Scheveningen... )
And it has held great chess tournaments in the past.
Plus the Scheveningen system is a method of organizing a chess match between two teams.
For a fairly obscure location, it certainly got on the map, so to speak.
