Successful team of SV 1946 Groß-Gerau
Last Sunday (February 19th) the Main-Taunus district team championships in blitz chess took place in Kelkheim.
The chess club of the district town participated very successfully with a four-person team consisting of Kathrin Peschk, Wander de Gersem, Jan Rother, and Erik Zacharias:
The team became district champions, and Wander de Gersem also achieved a shared third place in the overall individual standings.
Blitz chess is a special form of chess in which each player has less than 15 minutes of thinking time for the entire game.
In this team championship, a time limit of 3 minutes plus a 2-second increment per move was chosen. This is now one of the most common formats in blitz chess tournaments when using electronic chess clocks.

Youth training takes place on Saturdays from 1 pm.
