ABOUT
LEWIS CHESS LEGENDS
In 1831, 78 chess pieces made of walrus teeth, were found on the Isle of Lewis in the Hebrides, and are considered the world's oldest remaining complete set of chess pieces. Much research suggests that the chess pieces were made by the craftsmen who had been hired to decorate Nidaros Cathedral.
SCHEDULE & EVENTS
During the tournament we have a lot of other events happening in Nidaros.
We can’t wait to fill the playing venue with different activities and to create a great festival for both players, chess enthusiasts and other visitors!
