Its the festival of color celebrated worldwide following 2 days. 1st day is celebrated by bonfire signifying the victory of righteousness over evil and the 2nd day dissolving social barriers people dance, sing and throw colors on each other and distribute sweets. Friends, family even strangers greet each other irrespective age, gender and faith.

Holi has different names like "Dol Yatra", "Phagwa", "Manjal Kuli" and so on .
Similarly, chess has different names and forms like "Chaturanga", "Schach", "Shatranj" and more.

During Holi people throw colors on each other without knowing them even. In chess also we match with random opponents and get a chance to enjoy Bullet, Blitz and Rapid .

The role of this platform is really appreciable. The boards, pieces, editing profile, clubs and specially this blog section where we can post varieties of thoughts left chess black and white game no more. You just play with people and add passport of various country flags that makes your profile colorful. So many coaches, their courses including lots of puzzles and while analyzing games from Blunder to Brilliancy everything is multicolored. I'm thankful to Chess.com for making it "Holi Chess" everyday.
