I’m honored to share that I have been appointed the first Global Ambassador for WR Chess This new chapter will take me across continents, promoting chess and impacting lives on a global stage from Africa, Asia, Latin America tour to a world record event in Peru in June. The CEO of WR Chess Wadim Rosenstein has quietly supported the African chess community for four years. Together I believe we can achieve so much more for the chess world. We agreed to meet in Paris and travel to Prague for the chess festival. And for hours, we spoke about a global vision and a legacy for chess development and industrialization across Africa and beyond. One important thing Wadim and I share in common is we both came from nothing but chess opened doors we never imagined. Now we want to extend this to the world. I am proud to join the WR Chess family. Even more excited for what we will build together. It is possible to do great things from a small place.

WR Group has pioneered a scalable model of open chess challenges embedded within major international exhibitions - positioning chess not only as a sport, but as a global cultural and intellectual presence. We are expanding the game beyond traditional venues and integrating it into international business and innovation platforms. Wherever we operate in the world, chess is part of the experience. I am proud that Anish Giri supports this initiative - representing the union of elite excellence and open opportunity. This is how chess grows: visible, accessible, and globally positioned.

After winning both World Rapid and Blitz in Doha 🏆🏆, we asked Magnus Carlsen about the Total Chess World Championship Tour, a format that brings all time controls together. His take? 🗣️ “A great initiative.” 🤔 What is Total Chess? A new, FIDE-approved global championship developed by Norway Chess. Played across four tournaments per year, it will crown one overall champion across Fast Classic, Rapid, and Blitz, the FIDE World Combined Champion. #NorwayChess #TotalChess #RapidBlitz #TotalChessTour

On 20th of April 1976, R.B. Ramesh was born! 50 years ago! He became a GM at the age of 27 years in 2003. In 2002, he had won the British Championships, and in 2007 he became the Commonwealth Champion. In 2008, he took a bold step in his chess career. He gave up playing chess and started a chess academy and named it Chess Gurukul. He also gave up his job in Indian Oil (IOCL) around the same point. Many told him that this was a dangerous decision. But Ramesh had 2 things going for him: 1. He loved coaching 2. His better half WGM Aarthie Ramaswamy was also ready to support him in this endeavour! With his immense chess knowledge, willingness to learn and ability to work extremely hard, Ramesh created the base for a real chess boom of Indian chess! Players like Praggnanandhaa, Vaishali, Aravindh Chithambaram, Karthikeyan Murali, Bharat Subramaniyam and many others grew up at his academy! There was a point when almost every single rising talent of Indian chess wanted to work with him. Today as Ramesh celebrates his 50th birthday, it is interesting to see the road he has travelled. Vaishali is going to play the World Championship Match in a few days! He also received the Dronacharya award recently. He started a completely free chess academy named Chola Chess to develop the next generation of Indian chess. Thank you Ramesh for powering Indian chess! Your contribution to the growth of the sport in the country has been immense. Wishing you a very happy 50th birthday. Photo: Tushar Damor #chess #chessbaseindia #rameshchess
