Chronicle of round 8 of the 5th edition of El Llobregat Open Chess Tournament

The traditional ringing of the bell to start the round of play was performed by the blind international master Piotr Dukaczewski.

“If you want to travel fast, travel alone; if you want to go far, travel together”. A chess festival, like everything that aspires to have life, is part of a broad ecosystem of alliances. To pretend to grow in isolation is a major mistake, because in good company we can count on the help of our friends and learn from their experiences.

This collaborative idea has been especially evident in the internationalization of the V El Llobregat Open Chess Tournament, which in Round 8 of play has received the visit of the Consulate General of China in Barcelona and has honored the expedition of players from Poland. It has been a great honor for us to greet the Vice Consul Wang Zixuan and the Consul of Educational Affairs Yan Zhang, who have been kind enough to share this pleasant afternoon of play with us. Who has a Chinese friend has a treasure!
