This is how it was in Wrocław!

The Wroclaw Chess Festival 2025 has gone down in history as the largest chess event in the region. During the magical Christmas Market season, the Park Hotel Diament transformed into an arena of chess emotions. From Grandmasters in OPEN A, through amateurs in OPEN B and Second Step, to the youngest players in the Dwarf's Tournament — everyone found something for themselves.
