About us

Our vision is to create a new and unforgettable chess experience that challenges both mind and body.

By combining blindfold chess with the intense environment of the sauna, we aim to push concentration, visualization, and endurance to their limits. The World Blind Sauna Chess Championship is meant to be more than just a competition — it is an experiment in focus, creativity, and human performance.

We hope to bring players from around the world together in Røyken, Norway to take part in something unusual, demanding, and memorable.

At its core, WBSCC is about curiosity, bold ideas, and the belief that even a centuries-old game like chess can still be experienced in completely new ways.
