Cosplay Chess now open!
Feelingly Queenly? Maybe a Rook is more your style, or a daring Pawn ready to sacrifice itself for the greater good. Black or White, Bishop or Knight, sign up your interest in the forum thread today! Love chess but you’re not a cosplayer? We’re also looking for two chess players to put their skills to the test and battle it out on a lifesized chess board.
Charity Artbook applications closed
We’ve got enough artists to fill us up to the end of July, which sadly means we must close applications for our charity artbook. In the mean-time, the artbook page has been updated with a whole slew of new artworks, so take a peek!
