The Idea Behind

The University of Bologna is constantly seeking innovative ways to foster academic growth, interdisciplinary connections and global engagement: this 3-day tournament, hosting 18 teams from some of the top universities around the world, served as a platform for cultural exchange and friendly competition.

Each team consisted of four players (three students and one professor, or four students).  Mixing members of teaching staff and students enriched student-professor and professor-professor interactions.

The competition was not FIDE-rated, underling its inclusive and friendly nature.
