Magnus Carlsen won the next leg of the Grand Chess Tour

The chess grandmaster from Norway, Magnus Carlsen, delighted the audience by winning the next stage of the Grand Chess Tour tournament. First, he proved his chess supremacy in Poland, now in Croatia.
It all started in Warsaw, where Magnus made a great debut in the first phase of Rapid & Blitz Poland GCT2023. He accumulated 24 points in his account, ahead of the local favourite, Jan-Krzysztof Duda. The players fought an extremely spectacular duel, which Magnus Carlsen called “crazy”. Crowds of fans gathered in the audience of the Warsaw POLIN museum, and at times, there were even more volunteers than seats available in the hall.
In the third tournament of the Grand Chess Tour series and the last one played during the European leg of the tour, Magnus once again proved to be an exceptional chess player and an expert in spectacular comebacks. With his phenomenal streak of nine straight wins, he managed to outclass his opponents. Magnus Carlsen triumphed again in Croatia, and Superbet Rapid&Blitz ended with a standing ovation as the last European leg of the Grand Chess Tour 2023

 Cycling for charity

The best initiatives are born from the simplest solutions, and the “No Sugar” challenge itself was born from the passion for sports and bicycles of Superbet Polska employees. Superbet has prepared a unique challenge for fans of two-wheelers, which will last until 23rd July. The holiday season is conducive to cycling trips, and this challenge also has its charitable and social mission, which is essential for us. “No Sugar” campaign collect kilometres to help diabetics and simultaneously guarantee participants unique gadgets, so there is twice as much to fight for! Depending on the length of the distance travelled, Superbet will donate the appropriate amount of money to the Polish Diabetes Association. 

To participate in this CSR initiative organised by Superbet Polska, simply register on Strava, join a specially created group led by Superbet’s ambassador – Jerzy Dudek – and ride kilometres for the Polish Diabetes Association! Everything in the vibe of the Tour de France, not only referenced by the means of transport, but also by the distance (the route of the TdF Great Loop is 3404 km, the participants of our challenge have to ride 340.4 km). 

Diabetes is a serious civilisation disease, but against all the odds, patients can achieve everything they dream of, also in competitive sports, and with this initiative we want to help them do so. We want to show that you can live an active and healthy life with it. We are glad that we can make a contribution to diabetics and to show the struggles that diabetes entails.

Education and chess make a perfect team in the Step-by-Step project

Funded by the Superbet Foundation and realized with the support of the Step-by-Step Association and the Kasparov Foundation, the Step-by-step project aims to integrate chess into the school curriculum of Romanian students.

Today, the Superbet Foundation team visited the little students in one of the schools in the capital. The chess-themed game and exercises that the teachers prepared for the students in the class awakened them with overflowing enthusiasm and joy.

At the beginning of the class, each student chose the subject they want to deepen through chess, and depending on their choices, the teachers provided them with a series of interactive games and exercises.

In a single hour, our team went through a carousel of information, from the biggest secrets of mathematics to the “detective” game where we had to discover new words together.

With the help of the SuperGambit boards, but also of the teaching staff, we managed to attract the attention of children of all ages and instill in them the passion and attraction towards the mind sport.

Currently, the Step-by-Step program is carried out in 22 educational institutions benefiting more than 2850 students from all over the country. We want the Step-by-Step project initiated by our partners to expand to as many schools as possible in the country and to give all students the opportunity to discover the secrets of chess.
