Checkmate sessions
Stichting Amsterdam Chess Open brings you Checkmate Sessions, a community event where chess and techno unite people and bring the accessibility of chess to another level. No entry fee, no tournament, no pressure; this one is for everyone. From 19:00 till 00:00, the Q-Factory Café transforms into a space where ready-to-play boards are spread across the room and the dancefloor opens up in front of the players behind the decks, guiding the night from hip-hop to hardgroove.
