Celebrating Friendship and Chess: Chess and Friends Month
Dear Friends, this coming July 20, we celebrate International Chess Day and, in several countries, also Friend's Day. In honor of these two wonderful occasions, we have decided to dedicate the entire month to celebrating both chess and friendship with a series of exciting events.
The wallpaper will be the same one we use all year, "241 Countries and Regions of the World of Chess" by Pablo Picasso because it best represents all the friends. Anyway, we have a special wallpaper from July 19 to 21.

Friends, it is nice to live life with a broad sense of the word friendship. We are all different, we perceive the world differently, the good thing is to have common interests and feelings, as represented by our friendship, our love of chess and our club. In this sense, on July 20 we will grant an Amnesty to members suspended for this season for early abandonments with a red 00, we hope it will be valued since we are the only ones to do it.
Chess, like a lasting friendship, requires patience, strategy, and mutual understanding. Each game is a silent conversation between two minds, an exchange of ideas and a testimony of mutual respect. Chess teaches us to see from another's perspective, to anticipate moves and to celebrate both our victories and those of our friends.
During this month, we invite all our members to join tournaments, challenges, and special events designed to strengthen our bonds and enjoy the game we love so much. We believe that chess is more than a game; It's a way to build meaningful connections and celebrate friendship.
In 241 (Global Citizens Club), both dates represent a feeling that is in our hearts and that we should keep in mind all year round. We hope to see you all participate and enjoy this Chess and Friends Month!
