Chess & Tea 02: Exploring Eastern and Western Chess Systems in Serenity
Last weekend, Workshop Cờ & Trà 02 continued to take place in the quiet and warm space of Đây là An Viên Trà - Trà Đạo.
The gathering began with a brief presentation on Eastern and Western chess systems. From the East, it featured games such as Go, Chaturanga, Sittuyin (Myanmar), Makruk (Thailand), Bali Chess, Chinese Chess, Janggi (Korea), Shogi (Japan), and QiClash; to the West, it included Chess, Tablut, Chess 960, and Capablanca Chess.
This was followed by an introduction to the thesis "Chess as a mindfulness practice: Local examples from Southeast Asia," published in the book *Green cuisine trends & Sustainable development* by VNU-HCM (Vietnam National University, Ho Chi Minh City).
The QiClash exchange session concluded the workshop with a gentle and profound atmosphere, featuring slow-paced, focused, and highly intellectual games.
See you at the next Workshop with the theme "12 Zodiacs & Wet Rice" – exploring the 12 Vietnamese zodiac animals, the wet rice civilization, and the inspirations behind the creation of QiClash.
