Underwater chess at Sea Life

Your move: Players unperturbed by prowling sharks.

AN exhibition of underwater chess was held in the Ocean Tank at the Sea Life Aquarium in Benalmadena, as a showcase to introduce the first edition of the Puerto Marina Chess Festival. Surprisingly, the players’ concentration did not seem to be affected even though there were two-metre sharks swimming around above their heads.
The competition itself, which was sponsored by Benalmadena Port, the Sports Department of the town hall and the Malaga Chess Delegation, was organised by the Chatrang Sports Club and took place at the Hotel Riu.
Under-8, under-10 and under-14 matches took place in the morning and afternoon competitions were open to all age groups.
The aim is to promote both Benalmadena Port and what is known as the ‘noble art of 64 squares’ especially amongst local youths.
