Who is the adult chess programme for
Meant for?
The programme is designed for all adults who wish to maintain their sharpness, promote mental freshness, and at the same time enjoy pleasant socialising over the royal game. Chess is a wonderful way to keep the mind lively, and the day richer for new acquaintances and small mental challenges. Retirees and all those who have more time for learning, socialising, and strengthening the mind in a relaxed atmosphere are especially warmly invited. Both a morning and an afternoon group are available, so everyone can choose a time that suits them best. It doesn't matter if you're a complete beginner or already know the basics of the game – all that matters is curiosity and a love for chess!

"I hit the jackpot by enrolling in chess school. I have maintained and strengthened my clarity of mind, and I have made new genuine friendships in good company. The coach's approach, always encouraging and supportive, makes me feel relaxed and unburdened by the results. The chess school is a source of well-being, relaxation and just the right amount of adrenaline."
