European Individual Chess Championship 2026 has come to an end

As Mokate Group, we proudly reflect on the recently concluded European Individual Chess Championship 2026 – an event that once again demonstrated that chess is far more than a game; it is an art, a passion, and a tradition we have proudly nurtured for three generations.

Over the past few days, Katowice became the beating heart of European chess, welcoming more than 500 top players. We witnessed remarkable encounters where talent met experience, and each game stood as a testament to exceptional focus, precision, and strategic mastery. Emotions ran high, and some of these matches will certainly go down in the history of the sport.

We extend our warmest congratulations to the winners, whose determination and composure were truly outstanding:

• 🥇 Roman Dehtiarov

• 🥈 Nijat Abasov

• 🥉 Aydin Suleymanli

We would also like to express our heartfelt appreciation to all participants for their dedication and outstanding sportsmanship. Our gratitude goes to the fans as well – your presence and enthusiasm created a truly unforgettable atmosphere. It is thanks to you that this Championship was so special.

At Mokate, chess is an integral part of our heritage and passion. We are proud to serve as the General Partner of this prestigious event, supporting a discipline that so beautifully unites generations and fosters intellectual growth.

We look forward to seeing you at future games!
