2011 European Senior Chess Championships

The tournament is taking place right now in what looks to be an absolutely gorgeous place in northern Italy, having started on April 4 and runs through April 14, 2011. There are two championships going on concurrently: regular and rapid chess.  Rapid chess titles have been concluded.  The women's champion title in the larger tournament will be decided among top finishers in the main event - no separate women's event held.  The prizes are modest but the titles are coveted.  Senior men have to be at least 60 to qualify; senior women at least 50 years of age.

Madame Nona still has what it takes, with a very good result in the rapid championship, finishing in 8th place.  Kudos to top female finisher WIM Strutinskaya in that event. 

Both chess femmes are neck and neck in the larger tournament, sitting in 6th and 7th places with 3.5/4. 

For their final standings in the Rapid Chamionship, Strutinskaya earned 150 Euros and Nona earned 100 Euros.
