“This tournament is a proof that the joined efforts always lead to a good result. Nowadays, the connection that has been established between the IT sector and the chess, provides a good opportunity. It helps for the popularization of this sport and for its modernization through innovations in the IT sphere,” shared the main judge of Accedia Masters IT, Veneta Petkova. 
 
Georgi Peltekov, Engineering Director at Accedia, initiated the Accedia Masters events a year ago. The initiative gives amateur chess players the opportunity to not only practice their favorite sport but also share professional experience. In one of the previous editions was also elected the new Bulgarian Grandmaster – Martin Petrov.
 
Georgi Peltekov commented that “We continue with bigger and better tournaments. We are just starting the planning of a new large-scale event that will be open to everyone who likes to play chess. We are motivated to become better and to exceed our players’ expectations with each consequent event!”
 
Accedia Masters IT showcases our commitment to keep growing and developing in new and exciting areas.
