The world premiere of CHESS was held in 1986 at London's West End. Created by Benny Andersson and Bjrn Ulvaeus of ABBA and Sir Tim Rice, CHESS has since been staged all around the globe.

Four great chess masters: Boris Spassky, Bobby Fischer, Victor Korchnoy, and first and foremost - multiple-time world champion Anatoly Karpov, became prototypes for the two main characters.
