In the “Debut” played the first Cup of the Gatchina city sports and leisure center

In the chess club "Debut" was held the first Cup of the Gatchina city sports and leisure center in the format of a blitz. The intellectual competition gave the participants an exciting fight, unexpected turns and many beautiful chess games. This was reported in the press service of the administration of the Gatchina district.

Alexander Suvorov became the winner of the tournament. The young chess player showed an impressive result, gaining 8 points out of 9 possible and successfully overcame all stages of the competition. Even the defeat in the sixth game from the candidate for master of sports Igor Shepitko could not undermine his leading position.

Second place was taken by Gennady Pavlov. The experienced chess player scored 7 points and fought for the championship until the last round. The bronze medal was won by Igor Shepitko, who scored 6.5 points. It is noteworthy that he won the victory over the future winner of the Cup.

Viktor Ivanovich Buzalevsky, who is 90 years old, deserves special respect for his participation. Blitz is a game that requires instant reaction, extreme concentration and the ability to make decisions in seconds. Victor Ivanovich once again emphasized that the love of chess has no age limits.

Congratulations to Alexander, the winners and all participants of the first GSDC Cup! Let this competition be the beginning of a good tradition, and there will be many interesting games ahead, worthy rivals and new victories. After all, in chess, not only the result and place in the standings are important, but also the excitement of the game, the strength of character and pleasure from your favorite thing, the press service of the Gatchina district wrote.
