Paderborn Chess Turk Cup

Once again this year, more than 250 players will gather at the Heinz Nixdorf MuseumsForum in Paderborn. Among them are players from Germany and abroad, as well as several international masters and grandmasters.

Spectators are welcome every day. They can watch the games for free, with the top matches broadcast on large screens in the auditorium.

The tournament is named after the Turkish Chess Machine of 1769, an apparent automaton that defeated the best players of its time. A fully functional replica has been on display at the HNF since 2004.

The tournament is organized by the Blauer Springer Paderborn 1926 e.V. Chess Club in cooperation with the Heinz Nixdorf MuseumsForum.
