More than 7,400 visitors joined us at Avicii Arena for the first ChessParty Stockholm. With fantastic feedback from visitors, participants, chess personalities and partners, we could hardly have wished for a better start.

ChessParty was created to bring people together through chess. Seeing players, creators and fans meet in person and share the experience made this first edition special. The enthusiasm we encountered throughout the event, and the messages we have received afterwards, mean a great deal to our team.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined us, contributed to the programme or helped make ChessParty happen. Our partners, volunteers and team put an enormous amount of work into this debut, and we are grateful to everyone who played a part.

The response has given us plenty of motivation to keep building ChessParty. We take valuable experience and many happy memories with us, and we are already looking forward to bringing everyone together again.

For now, join us for a look back at Stockholm 2026. Watch our highlight film below and relive the first ChessParty!
