How It Works:
18:30 – 19:00 | Arrival & registration
19:00 – 19:05 | Event kickoff & explanation of speed friending format
19:05 – Speed Friending rounds (8–10 rounds)
You’ll play a 5-minute chess game with a new person each round.
Players are split into two groups: White & Black.
After each game, everyone moves clockwise to the next board.
If you sit down to an unfinished game, you pick up where the last players left off — like stepping into the middle of someone’s life (but with better rules).
Write down interesting connections on a “Match Card.”
After several rounds, we take a break — grab a drink, chat with each other.
We welcome anyone who's open to making new connections, regardless of age, gender, or any other formalities. All chess levels are welcome.
