The Chess Pub Quiz Puzzle Book

The Chess Pub Quiz Puzzle Book is a chess-themed puzzle book that mixes trivia, historical questions and light puzzle-style challenges, making it just as useful for solo solving as it is for running a pub quiz at a chess club, café or social gathering.

What’s inside?

Inside you’ll find hundreds of questions linked to chess and closely related topics. It is aimed at readers who enjoy testing their knowledge of chess history, anecdotes, culture and other less obvious facts from the game. The format encourages you not only to answer, but also to guess, make connections and spot surprising links between names and events.

One example of the book’s tone is a question about the most famous team to take part in a chess pub quiz: MC Hammer. The members of the group were strong chess players and knew their way around chess trivia and history. Can you identify their names? Questions like this give the book its character and make it a lively choice for anyone who enjoys the chess world beyond the board.

How to use it

You can work through the book on your own or use it as ready-made material for a themed quiz. It suits chess club evenings, team gatherings, quiz nights and as a gift for a player who knows openings and endgames, but is equally happy to spend time on chess trivia.

The book was written by grandmaster Dimitri Reinderman, and it carries the same playful, inventive spirit that inspired his home Christmas chess pub quiz for New In Chess.

It is an easy way to look at chess from a different angle and enjoy some time with the world’s greatest game.
