Visitors will learn about various games and have the chance to try their hand at them – during the workshops, professionals will explain the rules, nuances, and strategies that help them think several moves ahead.

There will also be a simultaneous chess exhibition with two-time European team chess champion Miran Oganian where visitors will be able to test their skills against the master in a real chess confrontation.
