Imagine playing a full game of chess without ever looking at the board. That’s what this unique event is all about: a blindfold chess exhibition, where two teenage players will compete using only their memory, imagination, and raw mental discipline.
About the Event
Two remarkable teenagers will go head-to-head in three blindfold games, showing us all that the human mind is capable of far more than we think.
This program is designed to reflect the core belief that the mind is the most powerful tool we have, regardless of background or circumstance. Blindfold chess is not just a spectacle; it is a demonstration of focus, discipline, and brilliance.
Through this event, we aim to show the world the transformative power of mental training, and how a simple board game can unlock a child’s potential, and even change the course of their life.
What Your Support Will Do
All donations and sponsorships from this event will go directly toward sponsoring the education of children who cannot afford it. These funds will be used to provide tuition, learning materials, and holistic support for children from underserved communities through the programs led by Chess in Slums Africa (CISA).
By donating or sponsoring, you’re not just supporting a game; you’re giving a child the chance to thrive.
