Näringslivet Möter Förorten was created to promote integration and counter-act segregation through the help of chess since it is a sport that all people can play and meet around no matter of background or prerequisites.

The tournament is a couple chess tournament with the rules that each business top is paired with a child from the suburbs, than they play couple chess together meaning that they play every other move without discussing the moves within the team. Totally 20 teams compete and the format of the tournament is group stage 4groups with 5 teams and all play all, with the group winner qualifying for semifinal and there it is knockout until one winner is crowned.

Chess is fun and conecting people!
