The South Ossetian youth chess team took part in the International inter-club online tournament “Batalla por la paz”.
According to the Russian House in Tskhinval, 38 teams from Russia and Latin American countries also competed for the palm.
The Russian House in Tskhinval has become a platform for honing the skills of future grandmasters.
"It is interesting that last year the first and second places in the "black and white" battles were shared by the national teams of North and South Ossetia. This time there were much more teams, the lineups were stronger, so the third and seventh places, respectively, are an absolute success for both teams, which was confirmed by president of the Chess Federation of the Republic Georgy Shavlokhov," the statement of the press service reads.
In the individual competition, the second place among 200 participants was taken by Vadim Kelekhsaev, the 9th grade student from school No. 1 of Tskhinval, a student of the White Lady chess school.
After the end of the tournament, the “chess delegation” thanked the head of the Russian House in Tskhinval, Sergei Komissarov, for his constant support. The evening ended with a group photo for memory.
