The 2026 Chess Festival in Radenci is officially in the books! ♟️✨

We were proud to welcome 183 chess players, including 21 Grandmasters, to this year's festival. One of the unforgettable highlights was the visit of the legendary Garry Kasparov, whose presence inspired young chess talents from around the world. 👑

Organizing an event of this scale would not have been possible without the support of those who believe in our vision. On behalf of Kasparov chess foundation academy, we would like to express our sincere gratitude to our sponsor, Slovenske železnice (Slovenian Railways). 🚂🤝

Thank you for supporting strategic thinking, youth development, and for helping build bridges between generations through chess. 🏆
