On Thursday, October 24th, 2024, an open tournament of pupils in rapid chess took place in DK Kramáre. The competitors were our clever children, Maxim Hartl from Grade 7, Dominik Šatka from Grade I grammar school. Natálka Adrašinová from Grade 4 was representing the girl side of our team.

The pupils enjoyed the event to great extent, learned something new and placed excellently. Maxim was 20., Dominik 16. out of 46. Congratulations boys!

Natálka was also wonderful. She finished THIRD out of 11 girls, so she continues to the next round! She has got a medal and a trophy for her efforts. Congratulations Natálka!

We would also like to thank our principals from both factions for letting the children compete, sponsoring our Chess Club and giving us the t-shirts and badges. Our school was represented to the greatest possible extent.

We would also like to thank Radovan Vachálek for his supervision of all the intricate elements of this tournament. Last, but not least, we would like to give a big thanks to Natálka’s family, especially her mom and dad, who support her and our club. It is also thanks to them, that we managed everything so well.

We wish our competitors the best of luck in their next chess games.
