A student of the sports school No. 11 of Sochi Bogdan Voichik became the winner of the championship of the Southern Federal District in chess composition among participants under 11 years. Competitions were held in Dzhubga and gathered about 200 young athletes.
Representatives of eight subjects of the Southern Federal District, as well as new regions of Russia – the Luhansk and Donetsk People’s Republics and the Zaporizhzhia region fought for the medals. Participants were divided into several age categories.
Bogdan Wojczyk showed the best result in his age group and climbed to the highest step of the pedestal. The young chess player was trained by coach Ivan Merzlyakov.
The chess composition differs from the classical game in that the participants need to find solutions to specially composed chess problems and sketches. Here, not only logic and accuracy of calculation are important, but also the ability to find non-standard combinations.
Earlier it was reported that HC Sochi missed the victory over Lada in extra time.
