The New In Chess group works with various partners worldwide. Le Due Torri is one of the oldest bookstores in Europe and is also involved in organizing various prestigious events in Italy. This year, the FIDE World Cadets Championship (ages 8-12) was held 14 to 27 November in a beautiful seaside resort in Montesilvano.
When we were asked to partner with the organization by providing prizes for the young participants, we did not think twice. What better way to get the younger generation interested in the fine art of printed books?
All prize winners received a book as one of their prizes, and as can be seen in the picture below, they were proud to show it together with their trophy!
I am sure we’ll see more of these players in the future. And, of course, we hope they learned a lot from the book they won.
