Romania’s Kirill Shevchenko Wins a Silver Medal at the European Chess Championship

Kirill Shevchenko’s extraordinary performance at the European Individual Chess Championship earned him the title of European vice-champion. The Superbet Foundation brought him in to represent Romania in major international chess competitions, and after winning the national championship, he went on to win a silver medal in a closely fought competition at the European Championship.

Despite not being one of the favorites, the young chess player surprised his opponents with his technique, securing a place on the podium alongside Grandmasters Alexey Sarana (1st place) and Daniel Dardha (3rd place). The battle was close throughout the 11 rounds, and Kirill’s 6 victories propelled him to the top of the rankings.

He began with a win over Elmar Atakishiyev and went on to secure important victories against notable players such as Tim Janzelj, Adam Kozak, Mikhail Kobalia, and Benjamin Gledura. The championship was decided in the last round of the competition, where the Romanian representative played against the current champion, Alexey Sarana. With Alexey tied on points, a draw was a favorable result for him due to the statistical advantage. However, Kirill Shevchenko once again showed his strategic skills and ambition for favorable results.

Both players had experience on their side, but Alexey Sarana did his best to steer the match to a draw. 

We are delighted to have Kirill in the Romanian national team, and we wish him the best of luck in future competitions.

A Dream Come True for Young Chess Player Ivano Mocic

The Superbet Foundation provided the young Croatian chess player, Ivano Mocic, with the opportunity to participate in an international chess tournament for the very first time.

Driven by ambition and a passion for the game, Ivano participated in the January chess tournament held in Seville, where he achieved 5 wins out of 9 games played, earning him first place in the category of players with an Elo rating lower than 1700. Notably, he secured victories against more experienced opponents from Kazakhstan, including the best player in his age category.

The Croatian chess player’s exceptional performance also caught the attention of one of the participating Spanish clubs, who extended an invitation for Ivano to play for them in the Spanish Chess Championship.

In the previous year, Ivano broke the 1800 Elo rating barrier for the first time, and he is now motivated to come back stronger with a winning streak. Currently, the young chess player is training with a Grand Master, which is enabling him to prepare for major chess tournaments worldwide.

Participating in the tournament brought Ivano Mocic joy and valuable experience, further inspiring him to make his mark in the world of chess. We were delighted to support him, and we pledge to continue backing him on his chosen path.

Kentos Karate Club shines at World Championship in Italy, winning 9 medals

The Kentos Karate Club partners of the Superbet Foundation had remarkable success at the World Championship in Italy, reflecting hours of training and intense preparation. The young karatekas excelled in Kumite, Team Kata, Individual Kata, and Absolute Kata styles at one of the biggest international competitions.

The competition was intense, and there were several emotional moments during the matches of Timisoara athletes. 

Milena surprised the jury with an exceptional performance and achieved a “golden” victory in record time. Milena faced her toughest competition yet, as she was unexpectedly registered in a higher age category (12-13 years old) than she anticipated, but she didn’t let that stop her. She qualified for the grand final after three fiery matches, even though her opponents had an age advantage.

Milena won four matches on points, but her semi-final match was the most dramatic. She initially had a 1-0 advantage, but with only 15 seconds remaining, her opponent took the lead. With time running out, Milena tied the score just four seconds before the final whistle. In the extra time, Milena scored five times in just 50 seconds, winning the gold medal at the World Karate Championship for the first time.

Congratulations to our partners at Club Karate Kentos for being the most medaled club in Romania!

With the help of the SuperPerformances achieved by the Banat club, Romania ranked second in the top countries with the most medals at the competition. We’re proud to announce that the Superbet Foundation’s partners won an impressive 5 bronze, 2 silver, and 2 gold medals. This is a first for the young athletes trained by Sensei Mihai Stanciu, and we couldn’t be prouder of their accomplishments.

We wish the young karatekas continued success in future competitions, and we’ll be keeping our fingers crossed for their continued achievements!

Imunis Association Supports over 140 Cancer Patients in First Half of 2022 with Innovative Programs

The Imunis Association continues to provide crucial support to cancer patients, with over 140 patients enrolled in the Imunis program since January. The program offers various workshops for post-diagnosis life, including nutrition, lifestyle, and support group meetings with physiotherapists and psychotherapists. 

Thanks to support from the Superbet Foundation, the Imunis Association has developed several projects for patients enrolled in the program. These projects include the “Mindfulness Post Diagnosis” program, education in oral hygiene, lifestyle post-diagnosis, and podcasts with psychotherapists and physiotherapists.

 Since August, the Imunis Association has also partnered with the Cervantes Institute to provide Spanish lessons to patients, as requested by the heroines fighting cancer. 

Innovation is a key aspect of the Imunis Association’s vision, as seen in the launch of the “Feminity After Cancer” program by Cosmina Grigore, the association’s president. This unique program aims to recalibrate femininity post-diagnosis, offering patients access to meetings with specialists in the makeup industry, public speaking, body reconnection, clothing stylists, photo shoots with designer dresses, pole dance classes, twerk classes, guided meditations, and a master florist course. 

We applaud the Imunis Association’s partners for their support and congratulate the heroines of the Imunis Association for their bravery and resilience.
