Speed chess tournament in memory of Paul Keres On January 11 at 11:00, a speed chess tournament dedicated to the chess grandmaster Paul Keres will be held in the conference hall of the Noorus Spa Hotel.
In the early 2000s, the tournament was regularly held in the town of Olgina, but it was discontinued after the tragic death of the boxing trainer and tournament initiator Ivan Burov. The Paul Keres memorial tournament was revived in 2022 at the initiative of the mayor of Narva-Jõesuu, Maksim Iljin, who takes part in the tournament with pleasure every year.
The event is dedicated to the chess great, whose birthday is on January 7 - Paul Keres would have turned 109 years old this year.
The tournament has become a beautiful tradition that brings together many chess fans. This time, the tournament will be held in the conference hall of the Noorus Spa Hotel, as the Olgina Town Hall building is under repair.
We invite everyone who is interested in chess, regardless of age, to take part in this event. The tournament takes place in several rounds, which give each participant the opportunity to test their skills and show strategic thinking.
Come to Noorus Spa Hotel to be a part of this chess tradition and enjoy the atmosphere of intellectual duels!
We welcome both participants and spectators to the conference hall.
Participation fee: 5 euros.
