Business Meets Chess & Kids in Oslo

Good atmosphere before the final between Team FERD and Team BI

The final was very exciting and after a tense endgame and time scramble Team BI with Lucas Ranaldi and 10-year old Abdishakur Elmi clinched the title.

Abdishakur has developed his game alot the last year and is now rated around 2400 on chess.com.

Otherwise it was a great event at Økern Portal in Oslo

Team PWC having fun

Team Ernst & Young with Marte & Vilasini vs Team Sci Group with the FIDE Vice President Jøran Janson & Sunniva

Team Play Magnus 1 with Olga and Maria performed well.

9-year old Adrian impressed with his mature chess. His only problem was that he had to stand in order to reach the board. Next year he will be both stronger and taller so the opponents will need to watch out.

The audience were strong (Askild Bryn, GM Aryan Tari & GM Davis Howell.
We would like to thank all sponsors and participants for making this into a lovely afternoon.
