Charity match (Lviv - Berlin)


On Friday, September 23, the Ukrainian city of Lviv and the German capital Berlin will play a charity match. The one-day competition will bring together some of the most famous personalities of German and Ukrainian chess without them meeting directly, as it will be held in a hybrid format.

Niclas Huschenbeth (GM, 2572)
Steve Berger (IM, 2451)
Alexander Lagunow (IM, 2360)
Clemens Rietze (FM, 2360)

Oleg Romanishin (GM, 2414)

Margeir Petursson (GM, 2447)

This match is dedicated to supporting UNICEF's "Help for Children from Ukraine" fundraising campaign. "We have chosen this organization because its work is very close to our hearts. Both we and UNICEF are happy about your support because really every contribution helps!" write the organizers on the landing page of the match, www.hybrid-chess.de.
