At the World Senior Chess Championships 2025 in Gallipoli 🇮🇹, IM Alexander Reprintsev 🇺🇦 won the title in the 65 category. At the prize giving ceremony he was totally surprised that this also would bring him the grandmaster title. Never too old to become a GM!

It is not in every job you can choose your own boss. Thank you @velemojstrica for making my life easy! And a big thanks to the rest of the team too, without your dedication I would be suffering. 😉 #YouthOlympiad #BestArbitersTeamEver 📷 Lennart Ootes
