Your business is already on the board.

The EU AI Act is a rulebook. Chess is a game with a rulebook you already half know. This book uses one to explain the other: the parts of the Act are the pieces, the dates are the clock, the regulators are the arbiters, and the aim is to avoid checkmate.

In fifteen short chapters, a fictional cast of seven organisations (a mid-sized firm, a building society, a lift maker, a newspaper, a start-up, a council and a cafe chain) make the moves your business will have to make, and the mistakes it can avoid. Every chapter ends with a puzzle, a quiz and the Articles for your lawyer.

Updated for the 2026 Digital Omnibus, with every date on the clock. Plain English throughout. No law degree required. A certificate at the back.
