Chess simultaneous with Serbia’s champion

Portfolio images from a public simultaneous exhibition played by Grandmaster Bojan Maksimović, Serbia’s current champion, held on Subotica’s Korzo on 25 July 2026.

About the event

The exhibition was organised by Šahovski klub „Šah Art“ on Subotički Korzo, with support noted from local partners and the national chess community. The grandmaster conducted simultaneous play across multiple boards against a large field of local players; participants received score sheets and a commemorative poster.

The photographs document the civic, pedestrian-square setting — a mix of close-up board action, portraits of players and the titled guest, and wider crowd scenes. The visual focus is on interaction, concentration and the public atmosphere of a city-centre chess exhibition.
