Thursday KNIGHT brings chess lovers together at PIOPIKO.

We’re inviting people of all levels to spend the evening with us, enjoy some chess, and get to know others who share their enthusiasm.

Chess attracts all sorts of people, and we’re curious about their lives as well as their moves.

Where has chess taken you? Who introduced you to it?
Perhaps you’ve followed it for years, or only recently found yourself hooked.

You’ll have something in common with the people here, and probably plenty else to learn about them.

There will be boards to play on and time to talk. Come with friends or by yourself, settle in, and see who you meet.
We hope Thursday KNIGHT introduces you to people who become part of your life in chess—people you’ll see at another event, make plans with, and share your enthusiasm with for years to come.

Date & Time: Thursday, October 29, 7:30 PM – 9:00 PM

Admission: Free (Please order at least one drink)

チェスを指す相手から、チェスを一緒に楽しむ仲間へ。
Thursday KNIGHTは、PIOPIKOでKYOCHESSが開く交流イベントです。

始めたばかりの人も、長く続けてきた人も、対局や会話を通じて知り合うことを楽しめます。

チェス好きといっても、好きになった理由や楽しみ方は人それぞれ。

普段どこで指しているのか、どんな選手が好きなのか。

相手の話から、行ってみたい場所や試してみたいことが見つかるかもしれません。

会場ではチェス盤を囲みながら、対局にも会話にも時間を取ります。

友達と来ても、ひとりで来ても、新しく知り合った人と過ごせる夜にしたいと考えています。
次に指したいときに誘える人や、一緒にイベントへ出かける仲間ができると、チェスの楽しみはもっと増えるはず。Thursday KNIGHTで、そんな付き合いが始まることを願っています。

日時：10月29日（木）19:30〜21:00

入場料：無料（別途1ドリンクのご注文をお願いいたします）

KYOCHESS紹介文：

KYOCHESS strives to grow a community full of curiosity and excitement through chess.
From a new generation of players learning how the horses move to world-class players who once played for the highest of crowns, our events connect people from various backgrounds.
Chess is an international language with a magical spark that ignites keen minds and ideas.
We hope that together, we can pass that spark on to the many friends we haven’t met yet.

KYOCHESSは、チェスを通じて好奇心を刺激し、胸が躍るようなコミュニティを育て、その輪を広げていくことを目指しています。
ナイトを初めて触る人から、かつて世界の頂点をかけて戦ったプレイヤーまで。
私たちのイベントは、さまざまな背景を持つ人たちを繋いできました。

世界共通の言語として、チェスには考えることを楽しむ人たちの心に火をつけ、新しい発想を生み出す不思議な力があります。
その熱を分かち合い、いつか盤を挟んで出会うまだ見ぬ仲間たちへと伝えていきましょう！
