Saturday, 21 November – RAPID (rapid chess)

Detailed information on the rules of participation, tournament categories and the schedule of matches will be available in the rules and regulations for each tournament.

Not just a tournament! Chess attractions for the whole family

The chess weekend at the Auchan Komorniki shopping centre is more than just competition at the tournament tables! It’s also a brilliant opportunity to spend time with family and friends whilst discovering the charms of strategic games.

Visitors can look forward to XXL chess – the royal game on a grand scale – as well as a draughts area where everyone can try their hand at a friendly game.

No registration required, no time pressure and open to all ages! All you need is a bit of enthusiasm to have fun. Who knows, perhaps this is where our youngest participants will discover the passion of future chess champions?

Together, we’re creating the thrill of chess!

The event is organised in partnership with the Wielkopolska Chess Association, and together we invite the residents of Komorniki, Poznań and the surrounding area to discover a passion for the royal game and experience unforgettable sporting thrills.

Chess is not just about competition, but also great fun, an opportunity to socialise and a way to develop strategic thinking – regardless of age or skill level.

Make your first move and join us!

Whether you want to test your skills in a tournament, cheer on your loved ones, meet Olaczka, or simply play a friendly game on the giant chessboard – we invite you to join in the fun!
