“Interactive chess boards have mystified people for almost two centuries, since the Turk first debuted in the 1800s, and more recently in the Harry Potter stories,” said Particula CEO Udi Dor. “GoChess finally makes this magic happen, and what better way to do it than teaming up with WBDGCP to bring Wizard’s chess to real life.”
For decades, Harry Potter fans have dreamed of commanding the legendary wizard’s chess army seen in “Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone.” Now, the wait is over. Every chess match feels like stepping into Hogwarts with Ron Weasley, Harry Potter, and Hermione Granger, battling for glory on the magical chessboard.
