Thank you to our chess friend Ioannis (John), and club Kyokushin Karate Kavala  for inviting me to your class. John is a chess player and also a black belt Karate coach. It was an awesome workout.

I try hard to keep fit and especially when I am about to play chess in a tournament. Sitting for many hours to play chess takes a lot out of the body and mind! My next tournament is the International Open Kavala Aug 2-9.

The chess tournament organiser Ioannis (John) invited me to attend the Kyokushin Karate Club in Kavala. John is a chess coach and also a black belt Karate coach. It was a great time and Jacob and I had a good work out. We are going to try to go regularly whilst we are here in Kavala. Staying fit is part of my routine for preparing for a chess tournament.

I think this training is going to help me be a more aggressive chess player and more confident with my moves!
