Chess In Shanghai

Taking part in the World Championship is already an incredible achievement for our team.

What once started as a simple chess community for people gathering in a bar has grown into something we could hardly imagine — a dream team representing us on the world stage.

Proud of every player, every moment, and every step of this journey.
