### Business Chess & Backgammon Dubai: Intellectual Leisure for Leaders **Where thinking is an art, and the game is but a reason for deep dialogue.** We invite you to an evening of **intellectual leisure with aesthetic content** at one of Dubai’s most sophisticated venues. **Business Chess Dubai** is a private international community for business owners, investors, and top managers who view chess and backgammon not as a competition, but as a form of strategic thinking and professional dialogue. The Philosophy: Presence Over Performance In a world of noisy networking and constant pitches, we offer a "space of silence." Our meetings are designed for those who value the depth of contact over the scale of the event. Here, the conversation is more important than the self-presentation, and the pauses are as meaningful as the moves. What to Expect: * **Intellectual Leisure:** A relaxed atmosphere for chess and backgammon where your skill level does not matter—it is the caliber of the person across the table that counts. * **A Mature Community:** Access to a closed circle of peers. Our community is part of the global **SHAHMATIST** network, spanning 8 countries and 19 cities with over 3,000 members. * **Safe Business Environment:** We strictly prohibit any form of direct sales or aggressive service promotion. This is a territory of trust and mutual respect. * **Aesthetic & Style:** We gather in premium locations with a strict adherence to a classic or smart-casual dress code to maintain an elegant atmosphere. Event Details: * 📅 **Date:** May 17 * 🕖 **Time:** 19:00 – 22:00 * 📍 **Location:** Attiko, Dubai * 🎭 **Dress Code:** Smart Casual / Classic (business meeting or evening dinner attire) * 💎 **Contribution:** 100 AED (Charitable organizational fee supporting educational and cultural projects) How to Join: Business Chess is a **closed community** exclusively for business owners, investors, and C-level executives. **[Request to Join]** *Your participation is subject to confirmation to ensure the quality and values of the circle are maintained.*
