Chess is one of the sports that most people play in the world in recreational or organized settings. We encourage everyone to do the former, while we take an active role in the latter. Inspiring chess fans, supporting talent and competitors at the beginning of their professional careers are equally important to us.
We organize events, encourage and support competitions and gatherings that enable connection and cooperation between people of different social, ethnic, educational, gender and religious groups living tens of thousands of kilometers apart. Chess connects us – that’s what we believe.Over the past 10 years, we have put this belief into practice at simultaneous exhibitions organized within the framework of the Judit Polgar Global Chess Festival and at our amateur open tournaments in the categories of children, adults and families. This mindset is also the basis for our innovative initiatives such as the world’s first interactive community chess simultaneous games (2022) or Chess Triathlon (2023).
