Structure:
1. Registration and Icebreaker:
- Participants arrive and register for the event.
- Upon registration, attendees are given a quick icebreaker questionnaire to help facilitate conversation during the event.
2. Speed Chess Friending Rounds:
- Participants are divided into two groups: "White" and "Black."
- Each group sits at separate tables, facing each other.
- A series of speed chess games are played between participants.
- At the end of each round (5 minutes), one group (e.g., "White") remains seated, while the other group (e.g., "Black") rotates to the next table.
- If a game at a table wasn't finished before the end of a round, a new person at a table finishes this game.
- The amount of rounds depends on the number of participants.
- Participants mark their scorecards to keep track of their interest in potential matches.
3. Intermission:
- After several rounds, a brief intermission allows participants to stretch, relax, and enjoy light refreshments.
- Participants can also use this time to chat with individuals they found particularly interesting during the speed chess rounds.
4. Closing and Match Notifications:
- As the event concludes, participants return their scorecards to the organizers.
- The organizers analyze the scorecards to identify mutual matches and shared interests.
- Match notifications are sent via email, connecting individuals who expressed mutual interest.
Whether you're an experienced chess player or a complete beginner, everyone is welcome to join in the fun and make new connections!
