ChessKid European Team Festival Region 7 Results!

The Region 7 edition of the monthly ChessKid European Team Festival took place on August 27, with the countries of Slovenia, Montenegro, Serbia and Croatia fielding teams of four talented young players each. In this friendly format, there were two semifinals with the winners of each semifinal moving on to a final round.

Each team fielded players from four different age groups (U8, U10, U12, and U14) and were represented by two boys and two girls.

ChessKid friends WGM Anastasya Karlovich and WGM Ana Srebrnic provided commentary.

The first semifinal was between Serbia and Montenegro, and ended with a decisive 7.0-1.0 victory for Serbia. The second semifinal took place between Croatia and Slovenia. After two very close rounds, the score was 5.0-3.0 in favor of Croatia.
