2025 was a very special year for the Business Meets Chess & Kids family since it was the year when we got our first Grandmaster in Elham Amar from Norway. Elham also managed to cross the magical 2600 mark in FIDE elo and we know that he will not stop there why we are very excited to see where he will be in the end of 2026. A big thankyou to his sponsor FERD and to his trainer GM Simen Agdestein who made all this possible.
We have also fostered more than 50 National Champions from 15 different countries which is something that we are very proud of. And we kept fighting on daily basis to help children from underprivileged backgrounds. Our Cross Culture Girls program grew to engage 700+ girls from 20 different countries among the globe. Nothing of this would have been possible without our supporters, donors and corporate partners. Thankyou all for a fantastic year and lets make 2026 even greater!
