Chess blog for latest chess news and chess trivia (c) Alexandra Kosteniuk, 2012


Hi everyone,


We found this chess advert in a collection of vintage print advertisements. We won't comment on how far this advert succeeded in the endeavour to sell the chess set. We just love to collect all videos and photos of advertising featuring chess. If you've got one, do share it right here at www.chessblog.com.

Chess blog for latest chess news and chess trivia (c) Alexandra Kosteniuk, 2012

Hi everyone,

We love advertisements from around the world when they use chess as a motif. Here is an interesting billboard 'contest' from California. It's already been blogged about quite a bit! Just goes to show, chess is loved!

First Billboard – Audi: Your move, BMW.
Second Billboard – BMW: Checkmate
Third Billboard – Audi: Your pawn is no match for our king.
Balloon: BMW: Game Over
