Greetings Chess Players. My name is Chris Torres and this is my daily chess musing for Friday, April 30 2021.
DailyChessMusings.com is not only a platform for chess education but also serves as a platform for partnerships and support. Currently I am voluntarily providing a chess education to children in nearly every state as well as a dozen countries around the world. One of the countries I have many students in is India. Unfortunately, the latest news from India shows the heartbreaking effects of a cataclysmic coronavirus surge. So I have organized an online blitz tournament with a $300 prize fund to help. The entry fee for this event will be proof of a donation to a charity sending support to India. The tournament is scheduled for one week from today as we do not have a moment to lose.
India is a huge part of our global chess community. Let’s come together to play chess and show our support for our friends in India. Registration is easy at DailyChessMusings.com.
