Living Chess in Jávea
The Esplanade Port of Jávea is hosting the 18th Jávea’s Living Chess on Saturday 26 July at 22:30 h. This event is been organized every year since 1996 by Mare de Déu de Loreto Festival Committee with the cooperation of the City.
Jávea’s Living Chess is performed by a theater company in a unique way of understanding this chess variety, defined as “a story told through a Chess match and performed by trained actors”. In fact, the viewer witnesses a play more than contemplating the development of a game, so it is not necessary to know how to play chess to understand and enjoy the performance.
The Living Chess -declared as an event of National Tourist Interest in 2002- is held every year in late July.
This year, the theme of the living chess will be “It’s Only Rock ‘n’ Roll”, written by member of the organizing committee Alvaro Monfort.
The match to be represented this year will be the Velimirovic-Rakic encounter during 1980 Maribor Tournament (Yugoslavia) as a memorial of Serbian Grandmaster Dragoljuv Velimirovic, who passed away last May.
