Over a thousand students at chess festival in Bremen

It has almost become a tradition: at the end of the school year, a thousand primary school students once again played an outdoor chess tournament on Bremen’s market square! The project “Schach macht schlau” (Chess makes you smart) has been running since 2018, with 43 schools now participating and offering one hour of chess per week in regular lessons. Senator for Education Sascha Aulepp opened the tournament together with project initiator Marco Bode. This time, the “Dog” team won and the students of the Augsburger Straße primary school were allowed to take the trophy home! | Photos: Nils Rohde
