MTU-student vil bryte irsk sjakkrekord for Ukraina

En ukrainsk sjakkmester som studerer ved MTU Kerry, forsøker å sette ny irsk rekord ved å spille mot minst 60 motstandere samtidig. Arrangementet i Tralee skal samle inn midler til medisinske redningskjøretøy i Ukraina. Organisert av lokale grupper, markerer det studentens første slike utfordring.

I Tralee, Irland, startet en simultan sjakkutstilling i morges på MTU North Campus med ukrainske mester Yunis Barudi. Som student ved MTU Kerry streber Barudi etter å overgå den irske rekorden for flest motstandere en enkelt spiller har møtt i et slikt arrangement. Eksisterende rekord fra 1977 involverte én spiller mot 54 rivaler med 47 seire og sju remiser. Barudi planlegger å møte minst 60 spillere samtidig, en bragd han aldri har prøvd før. Han uttrykte nervøsitet om utfordringen og fremhevet nyheten og presset i oppdraget. Turneringen har et veldedig formål med inntekter til kjøp av medisinske redningskjøretøy for Ukraina midt i pågående behov der. Arrangementet er organisert av Irish Chess Union, NEWKD (North East and West Kerry Development) og MTU. Det kombinerer konkurransesjakk med lokalsamfunnsstøtte og trekker deltakere og tilskuere til campuset for dette rekordbrytende forsøket. Ingen tidligere lignende arrangementer med Barudi nevnes, noe som understreker betydningen for både ham og det lokale sjakkmiljøet.
