This year, on November 28th, the “Dice Chess Cup Victory Pub 2023 – I” tournament took place, organized by the Dice Chess Federation in collaboration with the Riga Chess Club. The tournament was held in the cozy premises of Victory Pub in the Old Town, where chess enthusiasts from various countries, with diverse experience and age differences, occasionally gather for chess games. This time, a representative from the USA also participated in the tournament.

The champion of the tournament was a Dice Chess professional Kirils Bogdanovičs, who scored 9 points out of 12.
