During the past 30 years, TAT has since established 15 more offices in different parts of the world.

Presently, ThaiBev is not only the leading beverage producer in Thailand, but also one of the largest beverage producers in Asia. Their business consists of 4 segments: spirits, beer, non- alcohol beverages and food.

Bangkok Chess Club (BCC) When IO Kai Tuorila settled in Thailand, there was nowhere to indulge his passion for chess – so he founded the Bangkok Chess Club, which used to meet weekly in a small pub owned by a fellow Finn. Over the years the club has grown and, with the organisation of the annual Bangkok Chess Club Open, has become well known to many around the world. This year’s tournament was the 15th International Open organised by the BCC team.

INTRODUCCION El conjunto del juego de ajedrez con el tablero y las piezas colocadas en posición inicial nos hace recordar un campo de batalla, definido por unos límites en el cual se enfrentan dos ejércitos claramente diferenciados prestos a entrar en combate. Las 64 casillas por donde ha de discurrir la confrontación están bien diferenciadas, siendo de color claro la mitad de ellas y la otra mitad, de color oscuro. Nos puede correr la imaginación con multitud de batallas disputadas en este mundo claramente definido, haciéndonos retroceder en el tiempo donde la caballerosidad y las reglas estrictas de lucha marcaban las pautas de la batalla. 1. Piezas de Shatranj A través del mismo nos llega un modelo de sociedad militar donde se reflejan las grandes gestas (la heroica coronación del peón y su transformación después de todas las penalidades pasadas) y miserias que se producen (la perdición de un gran ejercito debido a la rápida acción de un comando suicida).

Watch video here) • 2015 World Team Chess Champion (Team China, Tsaghkadzor, Armenia) • 6th Youngest Chess Grand Master in human history (13 years, 10 months, 13 days) GM Bu, Xiangzhi Bio – Bu was born in Qingdao, a famous seaside city of China in 1985 and started chess training since age 6, inspired by his compatriot GM Xie Jun’s Women’s World Champion victory over GM Maya Chiburdanidze in 1991. A few years later Bu easily won in the Chinese junior championship and went on to achieve success in the international arena: he won 3rd place in the U12 World Youth Championship in 1997 and 1st place in the U14 World Youth Championship in 1998. In 1999 he achieved three GM norms within only two months, which made him the youngest grandmaster at the time, at the age of 13 years 10 months and 13 days, a record that was only broken two years later by GM Sergey Karjakin . In 2000, Bu defeated the Azerbaijani chess talent Teimour Radjabov by 6½-1½ in an eight-game Future World Champions Match organized by Garry Kasparov and was considered a super talent for future world champion contender. In 2004, Bu became the chess champion of China.
