Hello Friends,

Angelika Nenova is a young Bulgarian hope in chess. She is only 13 years old, but she has already participated in and won many chess competitions, and she has no competition in her age group in Bulgaria and she participates equally in women's chess, performing more than worthy.

To continue to develop, she needs to participate in international competitions where all the elite players of their countries gather. Participation in such competitions is a financial challenge for us parents, as neither the state nor the chess federation have a budget set aside to support outstanding chess players. A classical chess tournament lasts from 7 to 10 days and the cost of hotels ranges from about 200 leva per day with meals, air tickets have to be paid and the competitor has to be sent with an adult chaperone as she is still a minor. Roughly a 10 day tournament comes out to about 2000-3000 BGN, and there can be over 5 strong international tournaments in a calendar year.

This campaign sets an initial target of raising10,000leva for 2024 and this will be spent in stages depending on whether the costs of participation can be covered before each specific competition.

She dominates her age group in Bulgaria and competes equally among women, showcasing remarkable skills. To continue her development, she needs to participate in international competitions where elite players from different countries gather.
