Schackcykeln: "The Chess Bike" project launches in Trelleborg, Sweden (opens in new tab)

Schackcykeln (The Chess Bike) will launch in Trelleborg on 15 June as a free mobile chess initiative for summer 2026. Run by volunteers from Söderslätt Schacksällskap and funded by the Swedish Postcode Foundation, the project will bring chess sets, tables and chairs to public spaces across the city. With live GPS tracking and a custom app, organisers aim to make casual chess easier to find and more accessible. | Photo: Agnes Orre
