Today, early in the morning of February 17, the winner of the prestigious “Freestyle Chess” World Championship in Germany, Nodirbek Abdusattorov, was solemnly welcomed at Tashkent International Airport. The welcoming ceremony was attended by the sports community, officials of the Uzbekistan Chess Federation, and many fans - the atmosphere at the airport was not just “coming and going”, but a real celebration.
According to information, the tournament had a prize fund of 300 thousand US dollars, and 8 of the world's strongest grandmasters competed in it. After intense, uncompromising games, our compatriot won the bronze medal.
The most interesting thing is that the result was not limited to the medal: Abdusattorov also received a prize money of 40 thousand US dollars for third place.
Another big bonus: along with the bronze medal, he also received a direct ticket to the next "FIDE Freestyle Chess World Championship 2027" to be held in 2027. This means that he will be able to enter the next cycle with the feeling of "having his own game", which means even greater pressure and even greater opportunities.
In short, this bronze is not an ordinary award, but a step towards the next heights. Now the intrigue for fans is one: will Nodirbek be able to turn this "bronze mood" into gold in 2027? A miracle in chess means proper preparation, coolness and one "lightning" idea. And he has all of this.
