For the fourth time, the Marburg School Chess Championships will be held at the Steinm\u00fchle<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

It has been clear since at least February 2, 2017, that chess in Marburg is no longer an exclusive game, but is instead experiencing a resurgence and enjoying popularity among many people. On that day, the fourth Marburg School Chess Championship took place at the Steinm\u00fchle. With well over 50 participating students from ten schools in Marburg, the tournament was bigger and more exciting than ever before. In addition to the number of participants, this was due above all to the diverse field of competitors. Students ranging from elementary school through high school were in attendance, searching the chessboard for combinations, traps, threats, and the best next move. Once again, the competition was conducted in a very sportsmanlike manner throughout, and special mention must be made of the elementary school students, who mustered the courage to compete against the others despite the sometimes significant age difference. <\/p>\n

The tournament was held in cooperation with SK Marburg 1931\/72 e.V. and the Steinm\u00fchle. Daniel Allig, who heads the chess club at Steinm\u00fchle, once again organized this tournament in an exemplary manner: nothing fazes him, and he always keeps everything under control\u2014especially since the unexpected increase in the number of participants presented particular challenges. <\/p>\n

<\/a> In the end, after five exciting rounds, there were several deserving winners, as the final standings were determined in two age groups. In many cases where players were tied on points, the results were decided by the narrowest of margins through special tiebreakers. The overall winner\u2014and thus also the winner in his age group\u2014was Dimitri Schuster (7th grade) from the Martin Luther School, who was the only player that day to win all of his games. The top elementary school student was Samuel Opitz, who even managed to finish in a strong 15th place overall. The Marburg Chess Club awarded medals to all participants and invited them to the club\u2019s training sessions. Trophies were awarded to the top three players in each age group. <\/p>\n

The Steinm\u00fchle fielded a strong team of 18 players. However, they narrowly missed out on the medal positions. In Age Group 1, Finn Krausch (7a) finished fifth and Urs Seifart (7c) seventh. In Age Group 2, Nikolas Becker (6b) finished fifth, Robin Tatje (5c) seventh, Julian R\u00f6ser (5b) eighth, and Adriano Doimo (5b) ninth. <\/p>\n
