Chess(boxing)
(Yeah, whoever knows me may find it strange that I blog about Chess and not Go, but read on…)
It seems that Bulgaria is currently on top of several Chess tournaments.
We have
- Vesselin Topalov as “FIDE World Chess Champion”,
- Antoaneta Stefanova as “Women’s World Chess Champion” (second year in row)
- Liuben Spassov as number one in World Senior Chess Championship
and last but certainly far from least, (do sit down, please),
- Tihomir “Tigertad” Titschko as a champion of the European Chessboxing Championship.
Expect more Bulgarian winnings on the oncoming International Christmas Synchronised Swimming and Underwater Team Chess Tournament and the Summer/Winter 2006 highlights, European Curling Ice Chess - Female Cup and World Youth Blitz Blindfold Bowling Chess
( Ah yeah, we were also the first to issue a Chess stamp (1947) )
