Do you want to play a game of chess?

Be part of "The IMPRS Open Chess Championship"

  • Should I be "good" to participate? No, you just need to know the basic rules about how to move the pieces. This activity is for fun so you do not need to be an expert or anything like that! :)
  • How to participate? We will open the registrations from the moment you receive this email until January 17, 2021. Therefore, we kindly ask you to send us an email to either of us so that we can "officially” register you in the tournament. The matches will begin very likely in February 2021.
  • How would it work? Once we gather all registrations, we will randomly create matches. The winners of these matches will play against each other and so on until we get to the "big final". We propose that people organize themselves so that they can decide whether to play these matches in person (following the Coronavirus restrictions) or online via an app that will suggest. Once they finish playing, they would inform us about the winner of the match. However, it is worth noting that we would like to stream the final match on BBB or Zoom so that the other participants can enjoy the final.


Registrations are open from now until January 17, 2021! Please send a mail to Sebastián (espinelrios@mpi-magdeburg.mpg.de) or Annemarie (annemarie.lehr@ovgu.de)
