MUSICAL PROJECT
The MC Project
What is MusiChess?
- Registered trademark (2015)
- Website with the main intention of broadcasting music, chess and mind games. Our two official languages are English and Spanish, so you will find some content in both languages. We have sections of articles, events organized by our team, art, science and rankings.
- Sports club. In 2018 we started our first sports club (chess, go, mind sports…), with name MusiChess Sports and based in Tres Cantos (Madrid, Spain).
- Academy (Tres Cantos and online)
- Publisher (Las Ligas de la Ñ – 2019)
- Music band (2019)
For now, this is all that the MusiChess project has to offer. We hope to later on, improve and launch new sections.

MusiChess Philosophy
Music philosophy
The MusiChess project is developed with the idea of creating a virtual encyclopedia of composers of all levels, covering the following categories: classical music, folk and world music, jazz, blues, soundtracks, musical professions and influential characters for music.
- Classical (academic) / Ancient/Medieval (from ancient times till today)
- Avant-garde, 19th century (end) and 20th-21st centuries / Academic and popular genres of 20th and 21st centuries
- Traditional / Folk / World Music
- Soundtracks and event music
- Music professions related to accepted composers (theorists and critics, librettists and writers, orchestra conductors, luthiers, inventors of instruments, musical therapists, sound engineers, sonologists, disseminators, etc.)
- Historical and religious figures and mythological characters who influenced the music of accepted composers (patrons, philosophers, intellectuals, monarchs, members of the church, etc.)
Moreover, the reasons for excluding many other musical genres are entirely out of practicality. We love music in general, but, as we believe it is impossible to properly cover such a wide range of musical styles, we prefer to specialize in one particular spectrum.

Chess philosophy
Just as in music we focus mainly on some specific categories, and chess does not have any limitations. Sections related to this ancient game can address almost any subject. We will even be as flexible as to include content from other games, provided they generate a minimum of general interest. That is, information on poker, go, xiangqi, kriegsspiel, chaturanga, arimaa, etc. will be accepted.
