Football chess: is it real?

For the second time, an unusual FUTCHESS tournament took place in the Capital City of Sports at the Hydropark - a symbiosis of football and chess, the FUTCHESS Telegram channel reports. Participants were offered to compete first on the chessboards, and then on the field.

The system of counting points was taken from football, three points are given for a win in chess and in chess, and one for a draw. As a result, the FC KPI team turned out to be the strongest both physically and intellectually among all the participants. They won the first prize. 5 teams took part in the tournament, more than a dozen teams promise to register for the next competition.

Organizer of the tournament and author of the idea Ihor Biryuchenskyi:

- The main goal of creating the "Football+Chess" tournament is to add intelligence to football through the game of chess. This project is meaningless to most. Yes, as a find for units. It is units that become winners! And then they drag the rest with them... That's how it works. I am very glad that this project was born in Ukraine! Just now! For the first time in the history of mankind! And this is only the first step in a very large-scale project: The Birth of Our Nation.
