Chess Master Judit Polgar, the only woman
who demonstrates to elite his power and who can stay between

- One of most effective
school in last years has been the Azerbadjan School, country
of Gary Kasparov (who became Russian).
His presence is so strong that this country has one of better
chess teams in the world. And more representative player
is Shakriyar Mamediarov, 21 years old and
world number 4. He's one of more solid candidates to became
Villa Cañada de Calatrava champion. |
- But all of them will find the presence of other chess world
stars: Ivanchuk (Ukranie, world number 5), Gelfand
(Israel, world number 10), Grischuk (Russia,
world number 16 and winner of this Festival's first edition),
Bacrot (France, world number 18) and many more.
Fewer social, intellectual and
sport advances has chess activity, and that's the idea who helds
Cañada de Calatrava Towns Hall (Ciudad
Real), Festival's organiser. But he's got the private companies
support who demonstrates that chess is arriving to other areas,
like business. That's by this Festival is a perfect public and
private combination:

INMOVELL (Real State Assesor Group)
FICAMPO (Floor Investments)
- Interesting visits and travels
are waiting to chess players and friends: Lagunas de Ruidera,
Tablas de Daimiel, Don Quijote's Route, Almagro, Puerto Lápice…
If chess is an excellent way to make cultural tourism, La Mancha
is an excellent place to demonstrate it.
