The Schach macht schlau! project is an initiative of the Das erste Buch association, financed by BLG Logistics, Bremische Volksbank and BSAG. The largest school chess project in Germany was initiated by Marco Bode. Chess is learned in the classes with Fritz&Fertig (software, workbooks, workshops). So far, students from 350 classrooms in 43 schools have participated, i.e. 7,200 primary school students have learned chess in regular lessons. The tournament on the market square took place for the third time and is the big project finale at the end of the school year.

It is only through the close cooperation with the Bremen education authority and the great commitment of the Bremen teachers that this project is so successful! Many could not play chess at all and are learning the game together with their students!
