a new European chess champion 2026

Hello dear Chess Community.

Congratulations to the 17-year-old European Chess Champion Roman Dehtiarov from Ukraine, who dominated today. 🇺🇦 In a dramatic match against Spanish Grandmaster David Anton Guijarro 🇪🇸, the young Ukrainian secured the victory. While disappointing for David Anton Guijarro, it was, as mentioned, a tough duel of giants, and the Spaniard could still achieve 10th place overall. Congratulations, Roman Dehtiarov, and best of luck with your future career! ♟️
