WR Logistics To Host Exclusive Chess Challenge in Rotterdam

WR Logistics, a global provider of engineered transport and project logistics solutions, is bringing a bold twist to Breakbulk Europe 2025. Visitors to the WR booth will have a once-in-a-lifetime chance to face off against world chess grandmaster Anish Giri – and compete for a €10,000 logistics services voucher.

As part of its dynamic exhibition space, WR Logistics will feature a dedicated “chess corner” where Anish, the Netherlands’ top-ranked chess player, will take on challengers in fast-paced blitz matches. The twist? Anish gets one minute on the clock, while participants get five.

“We’re happy to bring something unexpected and memorable to Breakbulk Europe,” said Wadim Rosenstein, CEO of WR Logistics. “Chess and logistics have more in common than people think – they both require precision, timing, and the ability to think several moves ahead. We invite everyone to stop by, take the challenge, and see what WR is all about.”

For those new to chess or who want to sharpen their skills before taking on Anish, WR Logistics is offering quick chess workshops at the booth. Participants can learn the basic rules of chess and take their first steps at the chessboard with the guidance of experienced chess players.

Winners will receive a €10,000 voucher redeemable for WR Logistics’ project logistics services, showcasing the company’s commitment to complex cargo delivery across sectors such as energy, infrastructure, and industrial transport.

Breakbulk Europe will be held on 13-15 May at Rotterdam Ahoy. WR Logistics invites industry professionals, clients, and chess enthusiasts to visit the company at Stand 1K45-L44 and enjoy this thrilling and valuable experience.
