The end of the week surprised us with some good news in the sports performance sphere. Chess was in the spotlight this week with the performance of the Superchess team at the European Chess Club Cup.

Fortunately, good news always comes with it. Athletes from the GO Scholarship partner program have achieved several important results in national and international competitions.

The European Chess Clubs Cup has arrived in Bucharest!

With the support and funding of the Superbet Foundation, the Romanian Chess Federation partners managed to send two extraordinary teams (male and female) to the European Chess Club Cup.

Superchess was this year the Romanian representative and one of the contenders for the 2023 edition title. Irina Bulmaga (Romania), Dinara Wagner (Germany), Marsel Efroimski (Israel), Nino Batshiashvili (Georgia), and Eline Roebers (Netherlands) managed to surprise this year with an extraordinary performance during the 7 rounds played. Our players won the big trophy after an important series of victories against the strongest clubs in Europe.

With 6 wins and 1 loss, Superchess wrote history for the competition held in Durres, Albania, being the first Romanian team to win the gold medal at the European Club Cup.
