THE BETWEEN MOVES
BETWEEN MOVES is not a school and not a tournament.
It is a space for those who see CHESS as a form of thought and culture.
We gather in places shaped by history and quiet — to experience the game beyond sport and haste. Here, attention and depth matter, and the pause where MEANING emerges.
If this speaks to you — you are already HERE.
Where Thinking Takes Place
In CHESS, the most critical moment is often not the move itself, but the PAUSE before it.
It is the moment when the mind slows.
When quiet begins to think. When a decision is formed — one that change how the game unfolds.
BETWEEN MOVES is built around this pause.
Not around victories. Not around ratings. But around the moment when attention becomes a luxury. This pause belongs not only to the board, but to our life itself. To the decisions we make. To the people we meet. To the places where we think best
BETWEEN MOVES is a space for those who understand: sometimes, the pause decides everything.
In the Pause, Meaning Emerges.

In the Pause, Meaning Emerges
| PLACES WITH MEMORY Place Matters The places where we gather are chosen with care. They are spaces, houses, châteaux shaped by history — rooms where decisions were made, floors once walked by those who understood the value of quiet. HISTORY remains in the walls, in the stone, in windows opening onto gardens. Such places deepen thought. Here, ARCHITECTURE is not a scenery, but part of the conversation. Candlelight, the sound of footsteps, even silence itself — all of it invites thinking. We choose places where chess belongs naturally. Where a game feels like a conversation. Where a game becomes a dialogue between two minds, not a contest. The Walls Reflect |
Noon. Private lecture by a titled grandmaster on the philosophy of the game. On pauses he remembers. On games that changed his understanding of chess.
Lunch. Conversations naturally flow into chess — and beyond the board.
Evening. Simultaneous play session. This is neither a lesson nor a competition. It is experience and mastery.
Dinner, conversation by the fireplace. Analysis of games on the level of philosophy and calculation.
