  • European Championship 2018

    Just when you think you have enough exciting chess to watch the European Championships has its first round today. So what? More than 30 of the top one hundred players in the world and many other 2600's and legendary players are playing. Thats what. Plenty of good and exciting chess.

            The 19th European Individual Championship takes place from 16-29 March in Batumi, Georgia, organized by the government of Georgia together with the government of Adjara Autonomous Republic, Tbilisi City Hall and the Georgian Chess Federation under the auspices of the European Chess Union. The European Individual Chess Championship is open to all players representing the chess federation members of the European Chess Union regardless of their title or rating. The tournament is an 11-round Swiss open with a prize fund of 100,000 euro and first prize of 20,000 euro. Players receive 90 minutes for 40 moves plus 30 minutes for the rest of the game, with an increment of 30 seconds per move, starting from move one. The first 22 players will qualify for next World Cup.

            Broadcast is on chess24 in English with commentators Adrian Mikhalchishin and Keti Tsatsalashvili.

            The official site is very attractive and has a list with flags of all visitors to the site. For example, there are 1051 from Russia, 720 from the USA, 310 Brits and 54 from Canada.

            This is a good chance to see some of the players in the next World Cup, which is in Khanty-Mansiysk, Russia in 2019.
