organizes
Smart Village International Chess Festival
August 28 – September 1, 2024
Nautic Club Callatis, Mangalia, Romania

The event is important for chess lovers all over the world and aims to promote chess among communities in rural areas by giving them the opportunity to participate in chess tournaments, seminars and workshops. During this festival, participants have the opportunity to meet other players, participate in social and cultural events, take part in seminars and workshops and experience the beauty of the tourist area in the south of Mangalia Municipality.

The game of chess is a sport played all over the world and has a long and rich history. This could be a common point for all participants and could serve as a platform for socializing and dialogue about aspects of local cultures and traditions. The Smart Village International Chess Festival is an excellent opportunity to promote cultural diversity and encourage cultural exchanges between communities.

“The Smart Village International Chess Festival” is dedicated to players of all ages, who live in rural or urban areas and love country life, or were born in rural areas.Viorel Stoica
