Bronze medal of a 6-year-old Turkmen chess player at the Western Asian Championship
From June 30 to July 10, in the town of Korumdu on the shore of Lake Issyk-Kul in Kyrgyzstan, the West Asian Chess Championship among boys and children aged 6 to 18 was held. Competitions were held in all three varieties of chess: with classical time control regulations, rapid (rapid chess) and blitz (lightning chess). In total, about 300 athletes from 9 countries took part in the championship.
In classical chess in the category up to 6 years, 6-year-old Begli Annagylydzhov from Turkmenistan had a very successful championship. He entered the top three after 9 rounds, gaining 7 points.
The first two lines were taken by athletes from Kazakhstan - Madi Madjitov (8 points) and Sanjar Rakhymtay (7.5 points). Despite the fact that for Begli it was the first experience in the international arena, he showed a worthy result.
Begli is a graduate of the Ashgabat chess club Küşt Älemi, where a number of other talented chess players also train under the guidance of an experienced coach and leader Gurbangeldi Amangeldiyev.
