Are there any REALLY strong players who want this to happen?

We've been over this before. The moves of the games (or positions),
even with mention of the players or the event, are not copyrightable.

see, e.g.

I don't think that's a very good reference as chess obviously isn't an
athletic sport.


No, but the similarities are that facts are not copyrightable. Any
recordings, transcriptions, or commentaries are copyrightable. The fact that
something did happen is not.

Some persons might be present. They could move some chess pieces. Maybe it
was a sunny day?

If you prepare a report on that, the report is protected by your copyright.
The fact that something actually did occur, is not.
