About the project
The brief and the answer
On 15 March we brought the city’s creative industry together and backed the rising global chess trend. Entrepreneurs, creators and makers from across the region faced each other in the noblest of duels — and the strongest one won. The idea was simple: for one evening, swap work chats for game boards and let the people who make Kaliningrad meet each other across a chessboard.
