Global Chess Festival by Judit Polgar
Students taking part in the mutual tender organised by the Polgár Judit Chess Foundation and the Csányi Foundation hadthe chance this year too to be there at the Castle District Bazar at the Global Chess Festival organiused the Polgár sisters.
Everyone who sent their project works could travel to Budapest on 8th October at the Cstle District Bazar to be part of the biggest chess event of the country. There were many Csányi students who visited the programme and got lifetime experience and memories on this day. Those who become winners of the Foundation chess competition played simultaneous against Polgár Zsófi and Polgár Judit. The programmes were colourful and exciting as well. Thank you for the chance to be there with you this year too!
As we saw it…
“For me it was nice to live the memories again in the world of chess. Collecting points was a real fun and at the end we got rewards for the collected stamps. I really enjoyed the day.” Polgár Antónia, Tomity Benjamin Pécs1
“What I really liked today is that I had the second place on the “1000 Faces of Chess” competition. On the ceremony I got my prize from Polgár Judit. The stamp collecting was really interesting for me, too.” Varga Péter Pécs2
“I think the day was really good. There were many interesting and exciting programmes, which we could participate in. I became third on the “1000 Faces of Chess” competition. Chess makes connection between us – as Polgár Judit said.” Veréb Zsanett Pécs 3
“As a reward for the position I had in the chess competition in Nagybajom I could come and play chess on the 8th of October at the Global Chess Festival in Budapest. Unfortunatelly, I could not play with Polgár Zsófi but I could play simultaneous with Polgár Judit. Beside this, there were many good and interesting programmes. I am happy that I could be here and learn a lot of new movements during playing with Polgár Judit.” Makra Sarolta Sz3
I enjoyed our trip and the whole day as well. It was a great experience to play chess against Polgár Zsófi again. Up to now I always lost, but now I managed to play a draw.
I hope to be there next year, too, and who knows, I might win! Kern Andor, Mohács 2.
