In August, the two top German women players GM Elisabeth Pähtz and IM Dinara Wagner will duel in a 6-game match in Dortmund. In the run-up, we take a look at the previous tournament matches between the German number 1 and 2 in women's chess.

In September 2024, GM Elisabeth Pähtz and IM Dinara Wagner will occupy the top two boards for Germany´s national team. Before that, the two players will meet in a match over 6 tournament games in Dortmund.

We are pleased about the great interest in the Sparkassen Chess Trophy 2024 and would like to inform you that the A-Open is currently fully booked with 200 participants. The list of participants is published and a waiting list has already been opened internally.
