grenke 2026 - the official highlight short video♟️
3658 players, countless moments – but what made this event truly special was the community.
Thank you for making this unforgettable. 🙌

World-class chess, iconic presence, and a true ambassador of the game.
@MartinHahn75 Danke für die Idee, klingt gut. Wir nehmen es mal auf die Liste der Verbesserungsvorschläge, können aber nichts versprechen.
A dream come true competing at the Grenke Chess Festival

We met Antonio Radic - @agadmator in Cyprus at the FIDE Candidates 2026 and did a 30+ minute interview with him. We speak about the way in which he runs his channel - what he likes, what he dislikes! Through this interview you get to know Antonio better. An absolutely honest man who has no masks on him. He is exactly the same in person as he is on the camera!
From a selfie with Magnus Carlsen to Freestyle World Championship contender 🤯♟️
Alua Nurman is the breakout story of the tournament.
What does she say about the moment Carlsen had her phone taken away? 👀

@HertneckG Tatsächlich waren es "nur" 50.000, weil Erst- und Zweitplatzierter sich das Preisgeld aufgrund der gleichen Punktzahl aufteilen.
GM Vincent Keymer gewinnt das Grenke Chess Freestyle Open & qualifiziert sich für die WM 2027!
IM Dinara Wagner holt den 3. Frauenplatz und erhält ein Ticket für die Frauen-WM 2026!
Wir gratulieren Dinara & Vincent!

@kevingohwm @ChessbaseIndia From Karlsruhe, we can only dream of hosting a World Championship like the one in Singapore.
In the end, everyone plays their part in growing the chess world. ♟️

“Our story is to have the best players and the biggest chess place in the world.” ♟️
And this is how it looks.

Die Schwarzwaldhalle in #Karlsruhe bleibt ein magischer Ort für @VincentKeymer04. Wo er als 13jähriger Sensationssieger bei @GRENKEChess durchbrach, hat er nun 8 Jahre später ein Weltklassefeld im #Freestyle #Schach gewonnen. 🥇
Größtes Schach-Open der Welt und ein einmaliger Treffpunkt für Schachfans: @GRENKEChess 2026. Nächste Gelegenheit zu #Freestyle-Schach mit langer Bedenkzeit Ende Juni in Leiden (NL) und im Berghotel Rudolfshütte im Pinzgau. https://t.co/Syhw2z7N8u
To me the @GRENKEChess showed that Freestyle with the classical time control, leads to incredibly interesting chess.
I understand most disagree, but look at the games even so. They are titanic struggles, mixing strategic complexity, with unusual tactics.
Chess at its finest!
