Chess - the game of kings! Off the couch and out for some brain training! After the 10th round of Fortnite, do something for your head.

We want to introduce both beginners and advanced players to the sport of chess and offer them the opportunity to develop their skills. In each session, we look at chess history and learn from the grandmasters. The focus here is on current tournaments, but it is also possible to take a look at exciting past competitions. This is followed by free play. There are also puzzles from various fields to solve.

PS: A game of chess doesn't always have to last six hours, we also play blitz chess (1 min., 5 min., 15 min.)! Professors are of course also very welcome ;)
