Finally. Since March all live tournaments have been cancelled because of the corona pandemic but the Croatian Chess Federation now wants to go back to "normal", and organises its national championship from 19 to 29 June as a live tournament where the players meet face to face. The championship is a round-robin tournament and will be played in Vinkovci, where Bobby Fischer in 1968 won a strong international tournament with the sensational score of 11.0/13. Vlastimil Hort and Milan Matulovic shared second and third place with 9.0/13 each.
Fischer dominated the tournament from beginning to end and in round 6 he won a nice miniature with the King's Gambit.

Master Class Vol.1: Bobby Fischer
No other World Champion was more infamous both inside and outside the chess world than Bobby Fischer. On this DVD, a team of experts shows you the winning techniques and strategies employed by the 11th World Champion.
Grandmaster Dorian Rogozenco delves into Fischer’s openings, and retraces the development of his repertoire. What variations did Fischer play, and what sources did he use to arm himself against the best Soviet players? Mihail Marin explains Fischer’s particular style and his special strategic talent in annotated games against Spassky, Taimanov and other greats. Karsten Müller is not just a leading international endgame expert, but also a true Fischer connoisseur.
The venue of the Championship is the Hotel Slavonija and the Croatian federation will provide a live broadcast of the games.
