From Studio to Spotlight: Where Our Vertical Chessboards Have Been

Showcasing Vertical Chess at Major Events

Superbet Rapid & Blitz Poland 2023–2024 🎯

Our vertical chessboards appeared at the Superbet Rapid & Blitz Poland events, part of the Grand Chess Tour and hosted at the POLIN Museum in Warsaw. These top-tier tournaments brought together legends such as Garry Kasparov, Magnus Carlsen, and Gukesh. Our boards were featured as part of the interview-zone backdrop — a favorite spot for media and players alike.

Chess Olympiad 2024 — Budapest, Hungary 🇭🇺

In 2024 we were invited by the Judit Polgar Foundation to showcase a wall-mounted ChessboArt set in the Expo zone of the Chess Olympiad in Budapest. Visitors — from top players to families — engaged with tasks displayed on our board, curated by Judit herself.

We also had the chance to meet Judit Polgar and her family, and to take part in a simultaneous exhibition against Magnus Carlsen and Gukesh (rotating). I even managed to win my game — an unforgettable moment!

Our Vertical Chessboards in Iconic Settings

Set Design: The Magic of Moszna Castle 🎬

Our boards have also stepped into cinematic territory. One of the most picturesque collaborations took place at Moszna Castle in Poland, where our vertical sets were used as part of the set design. The wooden textures and noble elegance brought the atmosphere of chess and heritage to life.

Presidential Palace, Libraries & Theatres 📍

Although we’re a young brand, we’ve been fortunate to decorate some of Poland’s most historic and elegant venues. Our boards were featured at:

• Belweder Presidential Palace — during the Polish Chess Federation gala and the national championship opening;
• SGH Warsaw School of Economics — for a special chess league for business leaders;
• Juliusz Słowacki Theatre, Kraków — as part of the World Senior Championship opening ceremony;
• Kraków Opera — for the World Chess Pairs Championship;
• Spodek Arena, Katowice — at the European Blitz & Rapid Championships.

Partnering with Leading Chess Festivals

Cracovia Chess Festival & FIDE Women’s Grand Prix (Munich) ♟️

ChessboArt is a décor and design partner for the Cracovia Chess Festival (2024/25 edition and upcoming 2025/26). Our vertical chessboards also appeared at the FIDE Women’s Grand Prix in Munich (2023), standing as a symbol of innovation and elegance in the chess world.

A Growing Brand Rooted in Passion

Every one of these opportunities feels like a gift — a chance to share our passion for chess, craftsmanship, and design with the wider world. Our mission began in a small workshop, powered by love for the game and respect for fine woodworking. It continues with the same spirit today — now visible in tournaments, castles, and living rooms.

We’re still growing, still learning, and still dreaming. If you’re a chess lover, an event organizer, or simply curious — we’d be delighted to connect.

Thank you for being part of the journey. More exciting chapters lie ahead!
