This first edition marks the starting point of Chess for Charity: a unique gathering combining chess, solidarity, and networking, designed to bring people together around strong and lasting values.
Thanks to the participation of players, partners, and sponsors, this first edition directly supports charities working with youth in difficulty and promotes social reintegration.
Beyond the competition, this first edition is above all a moment of encounters, exchanges, and sharing, where each participant contributes to something greater than the game.
By taking part in Chess for Charity, you support initiatives that change lives. Thank you for being at the heart of this mission.
Chess for Charity is a project supported by the AClem Foundation, a Swiss foundation recognized as a public benefit organization.
