Some players contacted us asking about prices mentioned on the official flyer here by I'm confirming they are in Euro not Pounds (so for example full board week double room is € 455 etc.)

I take this chance to remind that first dead line for saving on inscriptions to the chess tournament is going to be overpassed (15th Febraury)...if you are interested to join don't miss it :wink:

Thanks for attention and hope to see you in Salento.

Ciao!

Matteo (Zoldan)
