Players didn't want to miss the Inter - FC Barcelona semifinal of the UEFA Champions League, so what can be better than playing the rapid tournament next to the TV! ♟️ vs. ⚽️, what would you choose? 😅 #ChessInParadise 🏝


GM Valentin Dragnev 🇦🇹 and GM Sergey Fedorchuk 🇺🇦 are playing in the top board this afternoon. Both are also leading the Sunway Formentera Chess Pentathlon after half of the classic tournament and the bullet and blitz events. ##ChessInParadise 🏝

Blitz in Paradise, an unforgettable experience for players during the rest day of the Sunway Formentera Chess Festival 2025. Is there any better location for a @FIDE_chess rated blitz tournament?


Third blitz tournament of the IV Sunway Formentera International Chess Festival is now on its way. Although it's the rest day for the classic tournament, chess never sleeps! #ChessInParadise 🏝

De las partidas que he visto del undécimo @SunwayChessOpen , esta vibrante victoria del ganador (Vetojin, ¡de 15 años!) me ha parecido de especial interés. Mi columna: elpais.com/ajedrez/2025-0… #ajedrez #Chess


Mr. @lukaszturlej, @FIDE_chess Secretary General, making the first move for GM Volodar Murzin at the beginning of one of the 2023 #SunwaySitges festival rounds. He was a promising young talent then, he's now the new Rapid Chess World Champion! 📸: @davidllada

A year ago GM Volodar Murzin was playing our Sunway Sitges International Chess Festival, where he finished 3rd. Now, he's the new Rapid Chess World Champion! Congratulations Volodar, what a success... Second 18-year old chess world champion in just a few weeks.

Estamos encantados de poder comunicar que Magnus Carlsen ha aceptado nuestra invitación para pasar unos días en Sitges después de retirarse del Mundial de Rápidas y Blitz. ¡Una suerte y un honor tener aquí al mejor jugador de este siglo! 📸: @davidllada
