Lichess Meetup: Prague

Lichess Meetup: Prague

Every so often members of the Lichess team try to find a time and place that several of us can meet up in person and work on projects face to face. In September 2026 several members of the Lichess team will be gathering in Prague, Czech Republic. As with previous meetups in Toronto or Berlin, we will be organizing an opportunity for us to meet with some of the Lichess community.

On Sunday, September 20th, we will be meeting for an OTB blitz event, for a few hours of chess, snacks, and camaraderie open to the public. Boards and sets will be available as will several moderators, devs, organisers and administrators of the site we all love.

The venue will be Juliš Hub 1933, part of EA Hotel Juliš, located on Václavské nám. 782/22, 110 00 Nové Město, Czechia. Chess House Praha is kindly helping us out with the event, with skdp.cz providing the playing material. Československý šach will also offer magazines to the attendees, and Lichess will have special commemorative prizes for the event.

Thank you for everything,

The Lichess Team
