ChessKid4Peace Recap!!

On March 21st, ChessKid organized a special tournament called the ChessKid4Peace event to help raise money for children impacted by events in Ukraine. The event was split between two sections, an Early and Late Edition, and featured commentary from GM Pavel Eljanov, GM Yaroslav Zherebukh, GM Daneil Naroditsky, GM Irina Krush, GM Andriy Baryshpolets and WIM Irina Andrenko.

Commentary from the ChessKid4Peace Early Edition

Throughout both broadcasts, viewers donated money to support the Tvoya Opora Foundation, an organization that supports children and families wounded or displaced by the war. In case you missed it, you can still catch both the Early Edition and Late Edition here. 

And it's is still possible to help! To help support children in Ukraine, you can still donate by visiting either streamlab.com/chesskid to donate directly or at chess4peace.com to buy a chess NFT with proceeds going towards children impacted by the crisis in Ukraine.
