Playing chess in Málaga

Sort:

Hi everybody, I have been to Málaga (Spain) for holidays and I found people playing chess at Calle Larios, the main shopping street in the center of Málaga. The man behind this initiative is a very kind french-spanish, who comes every tuesday and thursday in the evening, at 6 pm. This made me want to start chess. I played against such nice people there, that I recommend everyone who is in Málaga to stop by. Did someone ever attend to one of these public chess games in Málaga ?

As an avid chess player, it's inspiring to walk the streets of Malaga and meet both locals and tourists who gather to play chess. It’s a delightful experience where people of all ages – young, old, women, and men – come together for some relaxed and informal games while others shop along Calle Marqués de Larios. This was an incredibly fun experience, and the audience kept getting bigger and bigger.

Thanks for the tip👍 . Just played some games on the street. We ourselves have also chess in the street in The Haque. Every Saturday afternoon opposite the palace. Unfortunately we do not have Malaga temperatures.

Saw them there last night (Weds) and just played two games with them tonight (Thurs). Everyone was really friendly and from all over the world. Very cool chess culture here! They play from 5pm till late (~11pm)
