For the fourth time the Judit Polgar Chess Foundation presented the Goodwill Ambassadors of Chess Awards. The Awards are given to notable promoters of chess who have furthered the role and the values of the game of chess in their fields.

This year’s hybrid - on- and offline - Global Chess Festival has been a roaring success, with over 3000 visitors attending the event.

Judit Polgar’s Global Chess Festival 2021 sponsored by Morgan Stanley will be a hybrid festival: we hope to meet you again in person in Budapest or online in a large-scale program brimming with creativity and innovation.

It has been the third occasion that the Judit Polgar Chess Foundation presented the Goodwill Ambassadors of Chess Awards, which were handed out to notable figures that have emboldened the values of chess in their fields.

The 2019 Future Champions of Europe tournament was followed by the World Continental Online Youth Team Cup in 2020 in cooperation with the European Chess Union as a program of the 6th Global Chess Festival.
