Magnus Carlsen won the next leg of the Grand Chess Tour

The chess grandmaster from Norway, Magnus Carlsen, delighted the audience by winning the next stage of the Grand Chess Tour tournament. First, he proved his chess supremacy in Poland, now in Croatia.
It all started in Warsaw, where Magnus made a great debut in the first phase of Rapid & Blitz Poland GCT2023. He accumulated 24 points in his account, ahead of the local favourite, Jan-Krzysztof Duda. The players fought an extremely spectacular duel, which Magnus Carlsen called “crazy”. Crowds of fans gathered in the audience of the Warsaw POLIN museum, and at times, there were even more volunteers than seats available in the hall.
In the third tournament of the Grand Chess Tour series and the last one played during the European leg of the tour, Magnus once again proved to be an exceptional chess player and an expert in spectacular comebacks. With his phenomenal streak of nine straight wins, he managed to outclass his opponents. Magnus Carlsen triumphed again in Croatia, and Superbet Rapid&Blitz ended with a standing ovation as the last European leg of the Grand Chess Tour 2023

 Cycling for charity

The best initiatives are born from the simplest solutions, and the “No Sugar” challenge itself was born from the passion for sports and bicycles of Superbet Polska employees. Superbet has prepared a unique challenge for fans of two-wheelers, which will last until 23rd July. The holiday season is conducive to cycling trips, and this challenge also has its charitable and social mission, which is essential for us. “No Sugar” campaign collect kilometres to help diabetics and simultaneously guarantee participants unique gadgets, so there is twice as much to fight for! Depending on the length of the distance travelled, Superbet will donate the appropriate amount of money to the Polish Diabetes Association. 

To participate in this CSR initiative organised by Superbet Polska, simply register on Strava, join a specially created group led by Superbet’s ambassador – Jerzy Dudek – and ride kilometres for the Polish Diabetes Association! Everything in the vibe of the Tour de France, not only referenced by the means of transport, but also by the distance (the route of the TdF Great Loop is 3404 km, the participants of our challenge have to ride 340.4 km). 

Diabetes is a serious civilisation disease, but against all the odds, patients can achieve everything they dream of, also in competitive sports, and with this initiative we want to help them do so. We want to show that you can live an active and healthy life with it. We are glad that we can make a contribution to diabetics and to show the struggles that diabetes entails.

Watch the results of the first day of the Superbet Rapid & Blitz Croatia tournament!

The Grand masters had a fiery debut on the first day of competition. During the 3 rounds played, we had surprising results, quick moves, and matches lived at maximum intensity by the audience present.

The opening round of the first competition day ended with 3 important victories for former champion Magnus Carlsen, Romania’s representative Richard Rapport, and Polish grandmaster Jan Krzysztof Duda.

Magnus defeated the young D Gukesh after a fast game completed by the Norwegian star. Duda once again showed his skills in front of the chessboard and notched his first win over Nepo, while Richard surprised the audience with a victory over American grandmaster Fabiano Caruana.

Round 1 results:

Ian Nepomniachtchi – Jan Krzysztof Duda 0-1

Alireza Firouzja – Vishy Anand ½- ½

Constantin Lupulescu – Ivan Saric ½- ½

The second round of the competition continued to keep the audience on their toes. The 3 game-winning streak continued to the delight of chess lovers. Grandmaster Jan Krzysztof Duda got his second win against French Alireza Firouzja, putting him on top of the ranking after two games played.

Although he got off to a good start in his debut match, Richard was unable to match former world champion Vishy Anand. Anand notched his first win after a win over the Romanian representative, placing him 3rd with a win and a draw after two completed rounds.

Certainly, the second round was not in favor of the Romanian flag. Caruana came back strong after his first-round defeat to Raport and won the duel against Romanian grandmaster Constantin Lupulescu.

Vishy Anand had a quick victory over Romanian grandmaster Constantin Lupulescu. The former world champion gave the Romanian player no chance, managing to get the fastest win of the round.

With two wins and a draw, Vishy climbed to the top of the leaderboard, followed by Magnus Carlsen, Richard Rapport, and Jan Krzysztof Duda.

Have you heard the latest news from our projects?

Our partnerships are growing month by month, as evidenced by the extraordinary results in performance and education and the impact they have on society.

The summer weeks always surprise us with great news, and projects such as GO Scholarship or Step by Step continue to give young athletes considerable support in building a solid education for a promising future.

New medal wins for the GO Scholarship record!

Champion for years in her age category and national record holder in the pole vault, Valentina Necoară managed to impress the public and the jury at the U20 National Championships. The GO Scholarship partner athlete won the gold medal after an outstanding performance in the pole vault.

The young athlete’s performance was accompanied by Andrei Luca Oprea’s success at the Top 16 Romania U19 tournament. National table tennis champion and participant in the Balkan Championship, Luca won the silver medal after a series of victories against the best players in the country in the U19 category.

Ball sports were in high demand!

The partnership with Rugby Academy kicked off with a memorable friendly tournament for the young athletes in the U6, U8, U10, and U12 categories. Preparatory rugby matches were perfectly timed with team games on the beach, frolicking in the sea waves, and fun-filled evenings with club staff.

Between seasons, the Rugby Academy club staff found the perfect balance between relaxation and performance, giving the young players a memorable camp and beneficial preparation for the upcoming season.

A unique experience was also had by the 2009 squad of the ACP 3 KIDS team. For the first time, the footballers from the capital club had the opportunity to apply the training hours and strategies they learned in an international tournament. ACP 3 KIDS participated in the Copa Cataluna held in Barcelona. In this competition, the players of the partner club debuted with a victory (7-0) against CS D’Hammamalif from Tunisia.

We want to build strong partnerships through which we support sports performance and sports education of the younger generation.

Donation for the chess section of Stomil Olsztyn

To confirm the fact that Superbet is not limited to standard sponsorship of football clubs, we are constantly looking for non-standard forms of support for the entities we are sponsoring. The chess section itself, which we have decided to additionally support, is also close to our wide activities around this sport. We hope – that with our help – the newly established section of Stomil Olsztyn will develop rapidly.

The Superbet Foundation is the main sponsor and one of the organizers of Grand Chess Tour series. Two editions of the prestigious Superbet Rapid&Blitz tournament have already been held in Warsaw, with the participation of the world’s top chess players.

Vishy Anand and Ivan Sokolov played the first Blindfolded chess match with human pieces in Romania!

Romanian chess had a premiere at the Sports Festival event. Grandmasters Vishy Anand and Ivan Sokolov played for the first time a blindfolded chess match with human pieces at a national festival. 

The chess performance was accompanied by the scenography of the pieces moving in dance steps on the chess board.

Each move of the two chess legends was keenly observed by the audience in attendance, and the pieces did their job to perfection and gave us a memorable theatrical performance.

Victory belonged to Grandmaster Vishy Anand after a series of extraordinary moves that forced Ivan Sokolov to declare victory to his opponent.

The two chess legends shared the excitement of each move with the general public and the chess show was unmissable for lovers of the royal sport.
