Sweden’s biggest chess event ever

Two million Swedes play chess online, but only a few thousand are involved in traditional chess activities. This new category of players wants to have fun, be entertained and experience chess in a different way than in a quiet playing hall where competition and results are the focus. On 17-18 April 2026, Swedish chess history will be made when Chessparty Stockholm kicks off at Avicii Arena – a two-day festival that will be the country’s biggest chess event ever.
