East Germany

AM making final preparations for flying to Berlin tomorrow for the 34th seniors' championship of Saxony-Anhalt, which starts at Magdeburg on Monday.
There are two sections, 65+ with 107 entries and 50+ with 39 entries.
Both tournaments have seven, mostly-morning, rounds over seven days, with a time control of 40 moves in 90 minutes, a further 30 minutes to finish, and a 30-second increment throughout.
The venue-hotel, Maritim, is also the venue for next spring's world senior team championships.

    World Senior Teams may be there at the end of March/ April next year and at the Maritime hotel. Your thoughts ? Kevin

    Hotel is very central. Rooms have fridges and aircon, but the wifi is poor. Magdeburg is 'nice' - nothing special, but I'm pleased I've been.

    You would think city/ town centre hotels would have good WiFi !

      All it takes is a little effort, but wifi is one of those things that are particularly difficult to check before you book, so it often seems low on the list of management priorities
