After the credits · Winner Studio cameo

Not required. Still intentional.

SwissMax is a tournament ops companion. These Mecha characters are a quiet bonus at the end of the pipeline — a small way to celebrate juniors who light up when their name stands beside a hero they can imagine.

Why they exist at all

A cameo for imagination — not a feature pitch.

Many children already live with alter egos: game avatars, esports heroes, favourite skins, “what if I were that champion?” Fantasy is not a distraction from chess — it is often how they enter competition with joy.

Winner graphics are where that feeling can appear as a cameo. Not a story mode. Not a pairing system. Just a subliminal nod: your name, your result, and a character that makes the podium feel a little more like a world they already love.

Chess can stay black and white on the board — and still celebrate colour in how we honour the kids who play it.

Alter ego energy Juniors often enjoy seeing themselves as someone larger for a moment — a King, a Knight, a hero frame around a real result.

Esports fluency Games already teach them that heroes sit next to scoreboards. We borrow that comfort language for a tournament wall — lightly.

Optional by design Titanium, clean club, royal — other styles remain. Mecha is one celebration skin, not the identity of SwissMax.

The cast

Six pieces. Six little tokens.

Short labels only — enough to recognise the vibe when a name lands on a podium graphic.

King For the champion who owned the board.

Queen For brilliance that lit up the hall.

Rook For the rock-solid climb to the podium.

Bishop For sharp lines and cool style.

Knight For the leap juniors still talk about.

Pawn For every brave step forward.
