  • Bentornati! Welcome! in Attesa Di Parlare Più Approfonditamente Dei Vari Giocatori O Almeno Di Quelli Più Quest'anno Sarà Dura
    'simultanea' fatta l'altro ieri da Daniele Vocaturo che ha ufficialmente inaugurato la manifestazione: Daniele ha giocato 14 partite (da notare che praticamente metà degli avversari erano Candidati-Maestro) e in solo un'ora e 7 minuti ne ha vinte 13 e concesso una patta (in finale con un Pedone in più) a GianMarco Marinelli, al secolo marito di Olga Zimina e papà della bellissima Sofia. A proposito di bellissime, date un'occhiata anche a Giulia, figlia del (o forse meglio della) Consigliere Federale Silvia Azzoni. Chissà se fra qualche anno le troveremo alla scacchiera, così come Daniela Bresciani, 8 anni, una delle partecipanti alla simultanea inaugurale. Bentornati! Welcome!
