13.08.2005 - Talking about kids, the Children´s Club next to the press room is getting quite popular. More and more parents have discovered the Children´s Club sign and take a look the room in which the children can play Chess and Chesster, watch a video or DVD, play with toys or grab a book. The parents can leave their children for a couple of hours in the Club, because professional youth coaches take care of the children.
The Kids Club
Svala van Reem brought
her two kids Dennis and Nils to the club: “My husband is
working in the press
room in Mainz and normally I don´t have the opportunity to
visit him during the
tournament. Let´s be honest: a chess tournament is not very
exciting for young
children. The organisation has made a very good move by installing this
Club
here in Mainz. The boys can play in the Kids Club, meet other childen
from
different countries and I can either watch the games, relax a bit or
take a
walk outside. I like this idea a lot and I think that other organisers
should
think about it as well to make their tournaments more
family-friendly”.
Cornelia Schmitt, the wife of main organiser Hans-Walter Schmitt was
also
happy. ”I met a chess player who just went downstairs to take
a look at the
Club to see how the room looked like and what was going on. He told to
me that
he would be back next year...with his children.”
