The show
The idea behind WCN was to spread chess news all over the world, to show chess players that the effort they put into chess is noticed, and to show non‐chess players that chess inspires and engages all kinds of people: chess is so much more than just an ancient board‐game. WCN was started as a protest to the negligence of chess by the Swedish media, and was run by a non‐profit organization, dependent on donations. The show was produced by Adriana, Antonia and Amelia Krzymowska, and Alfred and Albert Krzymowski (aged 22–15 in August 2009), who together created the idea and concept.
