Historic mind games and Shahi (Şahî) chess set exhibition at Hagia Sophia
with Prof. Dr. Mustafa Kaçar and Tamer Karatekin
(January 2024, as part of the shatranj.ai project)

The shatranj.art exhibition, focusing on historic mind and board games, premiered at the Hagia Sophia in Istanbul in January 2024. This showcase, celebrating the strategic depth and cultural heritage of games like chess, marks the 100th anniversary of the World Chess Federation. Supported by esteemed international chess organizations, including the European Chess Union and the World Chess Federation, our exhibition highlights the rich history and evolution of these intellectual pursuits.

We aim to extend the reach of this enlightening experience by offering digital displays for classrooms or physical posters for any preferred location. This initiative is designed to inspire and educate, bringing the legacy of historic board games into educational spaces worldwide. Join us to commemorate a century of chess excellence and explore the fascinating journey of strategic games through the ages with shatranj.art.
