Tournaments for kids


I value organizing simple chess tournaments for kids more than staging a super-grand tournament for rated adult players. Why?

1. Better to engage kids in sports rather than engage adults in gambling
2. Better to educate kids rather than to engage adults in game fixing
3. Better to see a group of kids who are after knowledge rather than see a gang of syndicates who are after money
4. Better to see childish, innocent and dreamy eyes rather than see the proud antics and dirty talks of adults
5. Better to be with kids who demand for more rounds of games for enjoyment rather than with adults who demand for a higher cash prize
6. Brighter hope of finding and developing strong players among kids

Chess should be used for the advancement of humanity. It’s always best to start with the kids – the ones who have pure hearts and minds, the ones who are closer to God.
