Chess festival concluded

The closing ceremony of the "Baku Open" chess festival, organized in our country, has been held. Sport24.az reports that the president of the Azerbaijan Chess Federation, Mahir Mammadov, spoke at the event held at the Crystal Hall.

 

He emphasized that the "Baku Open" has great traditions and the competition was held in a highly competitive environment: "Everything was decided in the last round. The tournament participants were remembered for their interesting moves and delighted chess fans by using a number of non-standard innovations: "Baku Open" brought together participants from different age groups, demonstrating the interest of different generations in chess."

 

Former FIDE President Kirsan Ilyumzhinov attended the tournament as an honorary guest. He stated that he was happy to visit Baku again, one of the chess capitals of the world.
