♟ XXXVII. Mad Scientist Chess’n’Beer Amateur Chess Tournament

– New location, new chapter, same mission: a great chess tournament –

🎉 On June 22, 2025, Hungary’s most popular amateur chess tournament series continues with fresh energy and a brand-new venue: the Mad Scientist Chess’n’Beer returns – this time on the Buda side, hosted by the beautiful Mad Garden!

🌳 Under the trees of Miklós Square, we’ll play chess outdoors, enjoy great beer, compete, and reconnect with the laid-back summer community vibe that makes Chess’n’Beer so special.

And yes – we’re not hiding it: our goal is to fill up the boards again and make this one of the biggest events of the season!
