On 3rd and 4th November, chess players from all around Madrid met once again in a curious and unique tournament: contenders played in a swimsuit and sat comfortably inside the warm waters of the beautiful Arabic Baths in Calle Atocha, 14.
This year the tournament kicked-off in the Madrid Hamman on 3rd November and continued in Granada, Córdoba and Malaga. The winners of the four tournaments met in Madrid on 1st December.
Apart from the prizes for champions, all those who participated in the tournament received a gift card with a complimentary bath and massage to try out the Hamman Al Andalus experience in the most appropriate manner: without the nerves and stress of competition.
