President of Austrian Chess Federation♟️🎖️🇦🇹Shopping Malls & More 🏬📈 Fun & comedy account 😎

POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

I am sincerely grateful to @austrian.chess.federation and its President, @michael_stoettinger , for endorsing our team in the upcoming FIDE presidential election.

Austria has a remarkable chess tradition. Founded in 1920, the Austrian Chess Federation is even older than FIDE itself, and today it stands as an outstanding example of how a national federation and the business community can work together to create lasting value for chess.

Through the partnership between the Austrian Chess Federation and Freedom24, we have seen meaningful investments in national teams, youth development, women’s chess, and major tournaments, from the Freedom24 Ladies Cup and the Freedom24 PlusCity Grand Prix to the FIDE Women’s Grand Prix in Austria, as well as training camps with Viswanathan Anand and chess events at iconic venues such as the Vienna State Opera.

This partnership demonstrates what is possible when business becomes a true long-term partner of chess. It strengthens federations, creates opportunities for players, and inspires the next generation.

I look forward to bringing more world-class chess events to Austria, helping develop new chess talents, and, most importantly, scaling this successful model of business support for chess across federations around the world.

Thank you once again to President Michael Stöttinger and the Austrian Chess Federation for your trust and support. Together, we can build a stronger future for global chess!

♟️ Weltklasse-Schach diese Woche in Wien – volle Konzentration, schnelle Entscheidungen, Strategie pur. Fast wie in der Wirtschaft: Der nächste Zug zählt.

Ich durfte sogar selbst eine Partie spielen.
Spoiler: Gegen Weltklasse reicht guter Wille leider nicht 😅 Aber mein Respekt vor diesen Spielerinnen ist danach noch einmal deutlich größer. Gratulation an alle Spielerinnen zu diesem großartigen Turnier! 👏🏼
