On one side of the chessboard, Jan Krzysztof Duda - a chess Grandmaster since 2013 and World Cup winner, who received compliments even from the great Garri Kasparov. On the other, Wlodzimierz Seweryn - a grandmaster of the chisel, who specializes in making the impossible happen. On the last Saturday of October, in the year of our Lord 2021, the two played the inaugural, first ever game on a chessboard made by Seweryn from the limestones taken from the walls of Ogrodzieniec Castle.

Unique chess pieces made by Włodzimierz Seweryn will soon gain immortality. The first step towards this goal was done in Tychy, where a company called Oberon 3D scanned the entire set of limestone figures in a process known as reverse engineering. Now, if the original chess pieces are sold, it will be possible to faithfully recreate them from wood and then exhibit the replica at the Ogrodzieniec Castle. The process of scanning each figure took from 10 to 15 minutes. It was a time of a peculiar play of lights, reminiscent of an incredible thunderstorm merging with an Aurora borealis.
