Jamie & Arvin won Chess 2 Change

It was Jamie Kanogo from Kenya and FM Arvin Rasti from Sweden that emerged victorious in an exciting final against 13-year old Fantalis Nduta from Kenya and Mr Dodgy from Scotland. We had a fantastic event with alot of exciting games and friendship relations being created. The games were played on chess.com and GM Maurice Ashley and GM Ben Finegold was entertaining the crowd with their witty comments. The whole event was broadcasted on our Twitch Channel and through the stream there we managed to raise more than 7000 USD for the children engaged in the Chess 2 Change Program. A big thankyou to all participants, arbiters, staff and last but not least to all our supporters out there who supports us with their donations.
