Franconian Senior Derby Bischofsgrün

The 3rd edition of the Franconian Senior Derby 2025 was held, as usual, at Hotel Kaiseralm in Bischofsgrün. In the Swiss system, seniors competed over nine rounds for trophies and special prizes.

The winner was Karl-Johan Laustsen, who also won the Nestor award (oldest participant). As in previous years, many participants combined the tournament with a chess holiday in the climatic health resort of Bischofsgrün, including hikes on the Ochsenkopf and walks through the Bischofsgrün forest. The event was organized by ChessOrg Hoffmann Reisen GmbH in cooperation with the Upper Franconia Chess District.
