ChessVibes on tour

2 May 2007 8:36 AM

During the months May, June, July and August it’s ChessVibes on tour! Editor-in-chief Peter Doggers took the time to spend all his energy on the game of chess for the coming four months. He will play many open tournaments throughout Europe and at the same time publish as many reports-on-location as possible.

At the moment of writing his schedule (2 May) looks like this:

3-11 May: participating in the open tournament in Salou, Spain
13-18 May: in action for ChessVibes in Sofia, Bulgaria (Mtel Masters)
19-26 May: participating in the open tournament of Porto Mannu, Sardinia (Italy)
27-30 May: Rome
1-15 June: participating in the First Saturday IM tournament in Budapest (Hungary)
16-22 June: Berlin
23-30 June: in action for ChessVibes in Dortmund, Germany (Sparkassen)

After this more tournaments will follow.

For you, visitors, ChessVibes on tour means slightly bad news but at the same time very good news. In the coming months the articles about the latest chess news will probably appear less frequently (although my co-editors may take all the liberty they need to pursue their writing ambitions.) As ‘compensation for the sacrificed material’ you will get on-the-spot photos, videos, little interviews and who knows what else. ChessVibes will enjoy a beautiful summer!

Okay, no I’ll quickly pack my suitcase and head for the first location: Salou. ¡Hasta luego!

    Voor een reortage zou ik zeker naar Mainz gaan en om te spelen is La Fere (Frankrijk) een absolute aanrader om de sfeer (IM-normen mogelijk)

    Een tip: neem er van 14 tot 18 juli ook nog het gezelligste open van west-europa bij: Gent en zijn Gentse Feesten!

    Oh, man, how I envy you. I wish I could go on a chess tour over Europe like that!

    Veel plezier Peter, super dat je dit (voor jezelf) heb kunnen regelen!
    Succes!

    See you in Berlin!

    Ik zit ook in Sofia van 9 t/m 13 mei(voor andere zaken). Hopelijk kan ik je zondag even ‘live’ zien en je feliciteren met deze geweldige site, die ik bijna dagelijks aandoe! Weliswaar vond ik ‘doggersschaak’ een leukere naam!

    Pas maar op in Salou, Peter! ;-)

    Hi there from Salou! I had made a good deal with the IT specialist of the tournament and I was going to plug my cable into his router and post the first article today but alas, the chief arbiter doesn’t like it so I was sent away. Hopefully tomorrow I can bring the first report and photos I made; this is typed at the hotel’s expensive internet computer.

    The arbiter must be incredibly stupid. Instead of spreading the news and allowing a man to report about the tournament, let’s stick with the crappy official website so that nobody can know what’s happening down there. Some people in chess sphere need a brain transplant.

    After throwing all the hate, let’s wish best of luck to Peter ;)

    Aren’t you an IM, peter? The website is showing you as an untitled player.

  12. Michel van Leeuwen on 4 May 2007 8:56 AM

    You won your first game. Congratulations! Your second opponent has about 1200 point more. I wish you all the luck (and lots of wisdom).

    good luck en ik wens je veel plezier op je schaakmissie de komende maanden….(Y)(Y)
