We are incredibly proud to announce that ChessboArt is returning as an official partner of the legendary Cracovia Chess Festival in Kraków. Being invited again is a true honour — and we can’t wait to be part of this magical event once more.
✨ What We’re Bringing This Year
This year’s festival will feature even more ChessboArt presence — both in the playing hall and in the festival’s atmosphere.
🟫 Our Professional Bughouse Table
This year’s festival will include a Bughouse (Kloc) tournament — one of the most dynamic, joyful and crowd-pleasing chess variants. The first matches will be played on our Professional Bughouse Chess Table (Iroko).
Seeing players compete on a table we designed and handcrafted is something that genuinely excites us. Chess is not only about competition — it’s also about atmosphere, design, and the joy of bringing people together.
🏆 Maybe… We’ll Even Play Ourselves?
If everything aligns, Team ChessboArt might appear on the starting list and join the Bughouse fun. No promises — but we’d love to jump in and play a few rounds!
🎉 Why Cracovia Is So Special
If you’ve never spent New Year’s Eve in Kraków, you’re missing something truly unique. The Cracovia Chess Festival brings together players from all over the world, mixing:
- top-level competition,
- a warm and friendly atmosphere,
- hundreds of participants across many groups,
- and the unmistakable charm of winter in Kraków.
Each year, the organisers share photos, stories and updates from the playing hall — it’s one of those events where you really feel the global chess community coming together in one city.
⏰ There’s Still Time to Join
If you’re considering spending the final days of the year in Kraków — this is your chance. You can still enter:
- the main tournament,
- side events,
- the Bughouse competition,
- or the traditional New Year’s Blitz.
Cracovia welcomes players of all ages, ratings and ambitions — from new enthusiasts to titled professionals.
❤️ See You There
We’re truly excited to return to Cracovia and meet many of you in person. Whether you’re playing in the main event, cheering from the sidelines, or stopping by to look at our boards and tables — come say hello!
See you in Kraków!
