Wednesday'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 to survive times of crises 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 these times.
