The main cause of our company is to present International outstanding chess events.

As the organizer of World Chess Challenge tournament (25 November – 5 December 2006, Germany), we are looking back to this historic chess event with pride. The competition between World Chess Champion Vladimir Kramnik and the Computer Chess Programme “Deep Fritz” which was held in the “Art and Exhibition Hall” in Bonn enthralled the public and mass media all over the world and attracted attention of many chess fans.

One of the next great competitions in chess is coming soon: World Chess Championship 2008. It will be staged by our agency - Universal Event Promotion.
