Children visiting the championship venue again |
A group of 15 pupils from Moscow school #1243 with their parents and teacher visited the Women's World Chess Championship on March 23. As usual the visit started with an excursion around the SCC Galactica, after which the tournament director Alexander Tkachev showed the guests the chess points of interest.
First they visited Vasya the Robot, who received a lot of attention from the children. Then the group came to the press center to see journalists at work, and to the playing hall to see the first minutes of the round.
They also examined the exhibition of the RCF Chess Museum brought from Moscow, and listened to the online stream commentators Sergey Shipov and Ilya Smirin. In the end Alexander Tkachev gave children memorable gifts.
