The idea with the program

The idea behind WCN was to spread chess news all over the world, to show chess players that the effort they put into chess is noticed, and to show non‐chess players that chess inspires and engages all kinds of people: chess is so much more than just an ancient board‐game. WCN was started as a protest to the negligence of chess by the Swedish media, and it is run by a non‐profit organization that survives through private donations.

Production

The show is produced by siblings Adriana, Antonia, and Amelia Krzymowska, and Alfred and Albert Krzymowski (aged 22–15 in August 2009), who together created the idea and concept. They produce and market the show in their spare time, while managing their academic careers and participating in the competitive chess scene.
