★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Chess history:
Chess is believed to have originated in India, c. 280 – 550 CE, where its early form in Tamil Nadu was known as Sathurangam literally four divisions [of the military] – infantry, cavalry, elephants, and chariotry, represented by the pieces that would evolve into the modern pawn, knight, bishop, and rook, respectively.
Modern day chess is a widely popular game in the state and Tamil Nadu State Chess Association is the apex body for the game of chess in Tamil Nadu. The state has produced many grandmasters including Viswanathan Anand, one of the greatest and most versatile players of the modern era having won the World Chess Championship five times from 2002 to 2013. Other notable players include S. Vijayalakshmi, P. V. Nandhidhaa and Krishnan Sasikiran.??

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A lovely experience for those interested in chess! A peaceful nook to sit and play chess for free or investigate the museum crammed with knowledge - what's not to love. Donations are welcome but we never felt badgered - run by friendly enthusiasts who always seemed up for a game as well! Hidden in the city centre, good spot to find some quiet.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Cool little museum dedicated to Dutch chess master Max Euwe. It's fun by a very friendly group of people who are passionate about chess and are very welcoming and will answer any possible chess question you might have. There are large chessboards in the square out front as well :)

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ It’s one of Amsterdam’s hidden gems. You can play chess ♟ if you manage to find someone to play with! Most of the time there is always someone already playing so you need to wait your turn. I never tried to wait, but I find it fascinating how busy it gets

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This back office museum has been my favorite of my entire trip to Amsterdam!
English proficient, knowledgeable,
and friendly.
Sadly, no tours. However, I spent more than 2hr in this tiny museum. The love and knowledge of all the members of this chess organization shine through. On floor 30A wall right in, they can even be talked into playing a few games if pressed.
