Well, as I said on the first page of this thread,

I imagine later on the "tea room" will appear too, maybe randomly built into the real world ... like, they're in the parlor, for example, and suddenly there's a little alcove with the tea room. Or a door suddenly appears in the wall and Beato opens it and you enter the tea room. I would like that.

Spoiler:

I always felt like the "tea room" would be pretty restrictive for an anime, and that it would be a very bad idea to translate that literally from the VN. There needs to be a fluidity and blurring of the lines so that the meta-characters can have access to the game board better. I'm sure we'll see "tea room" scenes at some point, and hopefully it won't be a jarring cut to a separate location, because that would be bad, bad, bad.

Look, the real world IS the chess game. They aren't just sitting down and playing it, they are walking amongst the pieces. I always got the impression that this was an important part of the meta-world in the game, but that it was difficult to express it in confines of the VN format.
