Juga's unreleased chess song, Queen Trap, will be transformed into a music short film during the 45th FIDE Chess Olympiad in Budapest. This artistic project, created by Juga in collaboration with the FIDE Commission for Women's Chess, aims to celebrate women in chess worldwide.

The short film will showcase the best female chess players from 160 countries, as well as women working in chess organizers, streamers, photographers, and arbiters. Filming will take place on September 17, the free day of the Olympiad, at a Budapest landmark, the Hungarian Fine Arts Museum.

Queen Trap promises to portray chess women as never before. The production team has already confirmed the participation of chess champions Judit Polgar, Alexandra Kosteniuk, Elizabeth Paehtz, Bibisara Assaubayeva, Tania Sachdev, and many more! Our goal is to unite all chess ladies and make this artistic performance of chess a dream come true!

All female participants are invited to dress in their own style, entirely in black or white (including shoes and socks). Players will be filmed playing friendly blitz games (3+0 or 5+0 time control) against similarly ranked opponents. The games will be played on chessboards placed on low tables, with participants seated comfortably on cushions on the floor.

Chess equipment, transportation to and from the filming location, and light snacks will be provided. Participants will be requested to stay at the film location for approximately 3 hours on September 17. A detailed schedule and further production information will be released soon.

For players who prefer rapid or classical time controls, there is an option to indicate this on the registration form. Non-playing participants can discuss a pre-set game on a chessboard with other players.

Please keep in mind:

You can find the registration form on the FIDE Commission for Womens Chess website.
