Rey Ahogado is the first chess tournament held at 404 Coffee & Beers as part of the cultural and community programming of the project in Caguas, Puerto Rico. The event followed an open Swiss system format with 10-minute rounds. The project was developed in collaboration with the Centro Criollo de Ciencia y Tecnología del Caribe (C3tec) and the Puerto Rico Chess Federation.
To honor this collaboration, we combined 3D graphic generation with 3D-printed object production and augmented reality, inspired by the concept and chess situation known as the “smothered mate”, or “rey ahogado” in Spanish. The graphic composition is based on the contrast between Garamond Premier and Untitled Sans. The central poster features a king piece wrapped in checkered squares, evoking the chessboard. The project was created as part of a broader effort to highlight chess as art, game, and educational tool.
