The German Chess Federation has declared its “Chess Summit” in Dresden a complete success. “We are very satisfied and happy. The media response has been outstanding,” Paul Meyer-Dunker, president of the Chess Federation, told the German Press Agency. The players provided very positive feedback. “It was simply a great event and has given the chess scene a new boost. What more could you ask for?”
Over the past ten days, some 1,000 chess players from all over Germany gathered at the Dresden Congress Center. On one day, games were also played outdoors in the Großer Garten. Today, the spectacle on the board comes to a close with blitz chess.
