Bogart was an extremely avid and skilled chess player, and was known to have hustled games for money when he was younger and living in New York in the Depression (reportedly 25 cents a game). He also hustled chess games for money when he was not shooting his scenes in Casablanca and other movies.. There is a picture of Claude Rains watching Bogart play Paul Henried on the set of Casablanca, and Bogart and his wife Lauren Bacall appeared on the cover of Chess Review in 1945. The scene with Rick studying a chessboard was a position from one of Bogart's correspondence games.
