In a world where children face various challenges, one activity stands out as a powerful tool to foster personal growth, critical thinking, and resilience: chess. It is with great excitement that we announce our charity cause, a groundbreaking initiative that connects two seemingly different worlds: Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) and Chess. Through this unique event, we aim to raise awareness about the incredible benefits of chess for children, highlighting the significance of both physical and mental activities in their lives. Together, we can awaken the warrior within every child and ensure they have access to the transformative power of chess.

A Heartfelt Thank You to the London Chess Conference 2023.  Last weekend, I had the incredible opportunity to attend the London Chess Conference, an event that brought together chess enthusiasts, educators, and industry professionals from around the globe. Organized under the leadership of the International Chess Federation Education Commission (FIDE EDU), Chess in Schools and Communities (CSC), European Chess Union (ECU), and ChessPlus, the conference proved to be an inspiring and insightful experience for everyone in attendance.
