On June 18, 2015, 28 students from four Marburg schools (grades 5 and 6) gathered at the Steinm\u00fchle to compete in the Marburg School Chess Championship. <\/i><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

After 3 hours of play, thrilling duels, many beautiful moves, and well-executed checkmate situations, the moment had finally arrived, and the Martin team<\/i><\/span><\/span>–<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span>Luther<\/i><\/span><\/span>–<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span>The school earned the title of 2015 Marburg School Chess Champion.<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

But it was a long road to get there. <\/span><\/span>\u201cChess is the fastest game in the world because you have to organize thousands of thoughts every second.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/em> This quote from Albert Einstein was enthusiastically put into practice by the players, who set to work<\/span><\/span>,<\/span><\/span><\/span> to demonstrate their skills and compete against one another. <\/span><\/span> <\/p>\n

After a tournament that was very fair from start to finish, the final result could hardly have been any closer. The last round of play was ultimately the deciding factor<\/span><\/span>,<\/span><\/span><\/span> which teams would take home the highly coveted trophies, since everything was still up in the air until then. The young chess players performed brilliantly right up to the end, and so we would like to congratulate all the teams on their successful participation:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

1st Place:<\/b><\/span><\/span> Martin Luther School I (Alexandru Despa, Bosko van Andel, Philipp Grein, Alina L\u00f6ffler)<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

2nd place:<\/b><\/span><\/span> Steinm\u00fchle II School Camp (Finn Krausch, Jan Audretsch, Tilmann Molzberger, Yasin Yilmaz, Fabian Diedrich)<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

3rd place:<\/b><\/span><\/span> Steinm\u00fchle I Rural School Camp (Spartak Gevorkyan, Urs Seifart, Luka Hartmann, Richard Henkel, Paul Anton Schm\u00f6lz)<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

4th place:<\/b><\/span><\/span> Richtsberg Comprehensive School (Tim Josephs, Sascha Grefenstein, Taha Baroudi, Hamse Baroudi)<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

5th place:<\/b><\/span><\/span> Carl-Strehl-Schule \/ Richtsberg Comprehensive School (Kolja Schorat, Nico Waldmann, Daryll Wirth, Keanu Sander, Mika Struck)<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

6th place:<\/b><\/span><\/span> Martin Luther School II (Daria Dersch, Lili Kern, Maximilian Kruntz, Leon Zeiss)<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Special mention should be made here of the students from Richtsberg Gesamtschule and Carl-Strehl-Schule, who formed a joint team to enable as many people as possible to play. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

While de<\/span><\/span>the<\/span><\/span><\/span> tournament<\/span><\/span>,<\/span><\/span><\/span> , the games played could be analyzed again in an adjoining room. The Steinm\u00fchle had provided plenty of drinks and snacks, and anyone who felt like getting a little exercise during the break could let off some steam on the sports field next door.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

And so a successful day finally came to an end\u2014a day spent discussing our own games and those we\u2019d watched, celebrating our victories, and analyzing our mistakes in our losses, all with the goal of doing even better next year.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a>All participants had high praise and appreciation for the organization and execution of the tournament, especially for the prudent tournament management by<\/span><\/span> Daniel Allig<\/b><\/span><\/span>, our chess expert and club leader.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
