About the tournament: First steps to the crown
The Ukrainian Championship for children under 8 is a special event. At this age, children demonstrate incredible sincerity, spontaneity and at the same time - amazing concentration and thirst for victory. For many participants, this will be the first serious all-Ukrainian start, an experience that will be remembered for a lifetime. The competition will be held in three disciplines: classical chess, rapid chess (rapid) and blitz (blitz).
Historical background: The history of holding children's championships in Ukraine dates back to the last century. These tournaments have always been a forge of talents. Many famous Ukrainian grandmasters, who today worthily represent our country on the international stage, began their journey precisely with victories in such age categories. For example, Vasyl Ivanchuk, Ruslan Ponomariov, the Muzychuk sisters - they all went through the school of children's national championships.
Venue: Castles, Sakuras and Chess in Mukachevo
The choice of Mukachevo as the venue for the championship is not accidental. It is a city with a rich history, unique culture and an extraordinary atmosphere. Mukachevo is especially beautiful in May: usually at this time the city is drowned in pink cherry blossoms, which creates a fabulous backdrop for the competitions.
Infrastructure: Mukachevo has a developed tourist and sports infrastructure. The city is ready to receive a large number of guests. For participants and their companions, comfortable living conditions are provided in the city's hotels and sanatoriums.
