Checkmate! ⁣♚♕ #Throwback to 2020, as a child from South Sudan plays chess in a mental health centre in Ethiopia. Thursday’s #WorldChessDay is an opportunity to celebrate the ways in which chess can foster dialogue, solidarity and a culture of peace.⁣ Throughout history, games and sports have helped humanity navigate times of difficulty by reducing anxieties and improving mental health. While crises often force many sports activities to scale down, chess has demonstrated remarkable resilience and adaptability during challenging times.
