Whether you’re a chess novice or expert, whether you speak German or not, you’re welcome to join in. We practise, play, chat and have fun together in a relaxed atmosphere.

Chess is a language that is understood all over the world. It needs no long explanations; all you need to know is a few basic rules to get playing. And that is what makes chess such a good medium for playfully entering in dialogue, expanding your vocabulary and strengthening social interaction.
