Jan Henric Buettner’s newly developed chess tournament format “WEISSENHAUS Freestyle Chess G.O.A.T Challenge” premiered at Weissenhaus Castle on the Baltic Sea. Our event technology team contributed the location technology for the agency Hock und Partner, media technology and image direction for the internal broadcasts, lighting and sound technology, atmospheric lighting for the extraordinary scene design, the lounges, the stage and the media area.
In the Reetscheune at the Weissenhaus Private Nature Luxury Resort on the Baltic Sea, eight world-class players played freestyle chess according to the Chess960/Fisher-Random rules, while the exciting game was streamed live on 27 channels worldwide for the international chess community.
The event generated an enormous response in the press, so much so that an international follow-up series is already being considered.
