Even if you don't know how to play chess, it's ok. "Checkmate" apart is just an extra activity. The main part is "Connections".



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 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), everyone rotates to the next seat clockwise.

- If a game at a new 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.

3. Intermission:

- After several rounds, a brief intermission allows participants to stretch, relax, and enjoy their drinks.

This Valentine's Day, make a move that truly matters. See you at the club!
