OUR GUESTBOOK
« A superb experience that went way beyond my expectations. The place is magnificent, the setting and atmosphere are fantastic. I met exceptional people, and the team as a whole worked wonders. As a bonus : Emir Kusturica, swimming pool, sauna, hamam, beers, fun soccer games… The proof that I loved it : I’m coming back again this year ! »
Avedis
« I had a great time in Mokra Gora ! My main goal was to rediscover the taste of studying chess. Murtas and Vlad’s exciting lessons clearly got me going again. I loved the format with theoretical lessons followed by practical trainings, as well as the chess history sessions with anecdotes of our masters. The atmosphere in the village and with the other trainees greatly contributed to the success of the operation. I look forward to coming back to continue my training. »
