This is the logo of the X European chess championship in which some of the most important female players of Europe will take part in this month of March 2009 in Saint Petersburg. You can check the official page here . Saint Petersburg has been a very important city in the history of chess. Even its former name, Leningrad, survives for chess players in the form of a variation of the Dutch Defence.
I like this blue logo a lot. We have a checkered background and also a Queen, which represents both the feminity of the participants and the important piece. Her hair seems to form a river. Is it the Neva River? and what is that tower with a spire on top? is it a Rook? Is it the tower in the Fortress of Peter and Paul?
Best luck to all the players. May their moves bring more beauty to our game, as this logo has already done.
