Dear Friends,
We had a fantastic week of training in Spain and would like to thank everyone who attended our in-person camp. We truly enjoyed spending time together and hope to see you all again next year — perhaps in an even better hotel!
This year’s camp focused on the theme of attack and was based on Jacob’s latest book, A Killer Guide to Attacking Chess. Each participant received a personally signed copy on the first day of camp. The book will soon also be available for purchase online.
The training program alternated between practical and theoretical sessions, including individual and group solving exercises, training games, and friendly blitz sessions between participants and coaches. We were also delighted to welcome Alexandra Kosteniuk for three days, during which she gave a Masterclass and a simul.
Follow us on social media (Facebook, Instagram) for more photos and videos from the event. Thorsten has also written more about the camp on his website.
The camp concluded on Friday evening with a quiz and a small celebration. On Saturday, a blitz tournament was held at the same hotel. Congratulations to Renier for taking first place, followed by Rasmus Skytte and Julen.
Aradhya won the strong Shri Dhanpat Rai Sachdeva Memorial, with an impressive score of 8/9.
Several current and former members are taking part in the 4th Munich Chess Festival.
Finally, Arshiya will soon compete in the Asian Women’s Individual Chess Championships — we wish her the very best of luck!
