In action in Prague
Our youngest players made a big impression at the European Chess Championships
Six young Upper Austrians were in action at the European Chess Championships in Prague. In addition to a few victories, they also gave their opponents gifts. As a reward for the nerve-wracking time, the children were given a trip to Charles Bridge and a milkshake.
Up to four hours of full concentration in one game - not even the toddlers could be knocked out. Quite the opposite! At the European Chess Championships in Prague, six young Upper Austrians made a big impression, all of them scoring points in their first international tournament.
"The main thing was for them to gain experience, put what they had learned into practice and still have fun," said coach Florian Mostbauer, who was very pleased with his young squad. On their day off, they were rewarded with a trip to the Karlskirche and a milkshake. Including travel to and from the Czech capital, the sextet spent twelve days there, playing a total of nine games.
There were even sweet gifts for the opponents
Stella (12) from St. Florian even brought gifts for her opponents. "I had Mozartkugeln with me and every girl got one before the game because we wanted to give our opponents a little gift from our country at international tournaments. I got a pencil from Portugal, sweets from Kosovo and a magnet from Cyprus," said Stella, who was also delighted with her gifts.
Fair play and friendship are more important to the children than winning. And everyone is already looking forward to the next tournaments: "We've learned a lot and can't wait to compete again."
