The 50th International Dortmund Chess Days is not only characterised by world-class chess grandmasters in the field of participants, but also by the many other players in the open Sparkassen Open 2023. One of them has particularly much stage experience outside of chess: Matthias Deutschmann will take part in the A-Open of the Chess Days.
Deutschmann lives in Freiburg, but is known as an artist through his regular appearances on "Mitternachtsspitzen" on WDR television, especially in NRW. He tours successfully throughout Germany on a wide variety of stages.
He has also been doing well at the chessboard lately, having recently been promoted to the top league again with his club. Now he is using his summer break to participate in the A-Open as a player. Matthias Deutschmann will also be involved in the 50th anniversary programme as a cabaret artist.
Registration is still possible for both Opens, which are endowed with a total of 25,000 € in prize money - click here for the current list of participants: List of participants Sparkassen Open
