Saturday is the day. The best chess players will compete for fame, honour and great prizes in the Playground final. You can be there live. The stream starts at 12:00.

A total of 16 players have qualified for the chess final at the Digitec Playground Cup Vol. 10 in two qualifiers. Eight of them will play in the pro final and eight in the Grümpi final.

The game is played in rapid mode with a 10-minute + 2-second increment. The rapid rating of the participants in the pro tournament is between 2099 and 2447 - including two FIDE Masters. In the Grümpi tournament, the rapid rating is between 942 and 1224.

The finals of the Pro and Grümpi tournaments will be streamed live on Twitch and Youtube. The stream starts on Saturday at 12:15 pm.

The whole thing will be moderated by our chess experts Lena Georgescu and Virginia Parrotta. Lena holds the FIDE titles of "Women's International Champion" and "FIDE Champion". She achieved the latter title in 2016, making her the youngest FIDE champion in Swiss chess history. Virginia is a Community Manager at Digitec and has been a passionate chess player for four years.

Also present will be Grand Master Yannick Pelletier, who will analyse the games together with the winners.

My love of video games was unleashed at the tender age of five by the original Gameboy. Over the years, it's grown in leaps and bounds.
