ChessKid European Team Festival Continues!

The ChessKid European Team Festival continues in February for the second competition! While we saw Latvia emerge victorious last month (check it out here if you missed it), we'll have a new set of countries facing off for the second edition. On February 26th at 6 am PT/9 am ET/3 pm CET, join us for Region 2 featuring teams of ChessKids from four new countries.

Which countries and talented young players will be competing this month? We're glad you asked:

Czech Republic

Slovakia

Hungary

Romania

As before, each country will field a team of four players from four different age groups (U8, U10, U12, and U14) and will be represented by two boys and two girls. 

The four countries will face off in two stages. First, all four countries will face off in a pair of semifinal matches and the winners of those matches will move forward to the final.

Here's the schedule (all games will be 10 minutes with a 5-second increment):

Winners from the festival will receive free ChessKid gold memberships for one year and will go on to have the chance to compete against other top teams later this year. The second-place team will receive six months of free ChessKid gold memberships, and all participants will receive three months of ChessKid gold memberships.
