Richard Rapport joins FC St. Pauli Chess

 

One of the most exciting players in the chess world, known for his creative and unconventional playing style will be joining FC St. Pauli Chess starting with the upcoming Bundesliga season. Richard is the current #21 in the FIDE world rankings, and will be joining us from long-term German team champions Baden Baden.

 

Oliver von Wersch, FC St. Pauli Chess says:

"We are delighted to welcome Richard to our team. He will help us a lot to improve our performance in the strongest chess league in the world, starting from next season - and I'm sure that our fans and members will love him."

 

Richard Rapport says:

"I'm really looking forward to join the FC St. Pauli chess team. They are a value-driven club, which I wholeheartedly support. And they are driven by creating passion for our sports amongst chess fans and members. I have been observing that in the past few years, and now I'm looking forward to being part of it. Together we can achieve great things - in the Bundesliga but also in increasing awareness for chess in general.“

 

There will be more new signings to our squad, which we will announce in the next few weeks.
