Pazardzhik Will Host an International Chess Tournament and an Open Club for All Ages

The event is dedicated to Grandmaster Krusty Georiev. The Municipal Council has decided to provide free access to a 34 sq m room for the needs of the chess club – Pazardzhik. The space is being allocated for five years and will serve the club's activities. The club will be open to all interested, with no age restrictions.

For equipping the club, new 10 tables, 20 chairs, 30 boards with pieces with a minimum height of 9 centimeters, and 17 chess clocks are required. The total necessary amount for this equipment is 1353 euros. Plamen Topalov announced also the first event in the club's calendar plan, which is scheduled for October 17.

The club has a prepared team to participate in the World Championship in Vraneshti Banja, Serbia, which will take place from November 2 to 15. For this purpose, the team needs approximately 6000 euros for overnight stays and competition fees for the players.
