AVE-KONTAKT was commissioned by the European Chess Federation to organize this important chess event.

With this event, we want to follow up on the successful World Championship of senior teams from last year. This year, the event will move to the beautiful Hotel Don Giovanni (where the 3 years of the prestigious Prague International Chess Festival have taken place here), which offers great conditions for play, accommodation, meals and leisure activities. We also managed to negotiate interesting prices for accommodation (eg 1 bed in a 2-bed room with breakfast for 30 EUR, etc.) Take advantage of the unique opportunity to play with chess legends.

Detailed regulations can be found from 5th July 2021 at the event website ESTCC2021.NET.

Teams and players can participate regardless of their rating.
