Start of the 4th
Winterthur Chess Week

---

Martin Ballmann  President of the Chess Week's organizing committee and of the Schachverband Winterthur

The 4th edition of the Winterthur Chess Week will take place October 1st until October 9th. The numerous participation of players, helpers and last but not least sponsors and donators has shown us, that we are on the right track and confirmed us to continue carrying out the tournament.

Beside the annual tournaments (the open, the youth open and the blitz singles) in this year's Chess Week a young masters' tournament will be held again, that should allow young players to attain international norms. The chess festival will be completed by a teams' blitz tournament, which will replace the second blitz singles.

The organizing committee of the 4th Winterthur Chess Week wishes every participant nice games and a good time in Winterthur!
