Andrey Filatov Congratulates Chess Players On Their Professional Holiday

International Chess Day is celebrated on July 20.


Dear chess professionals and amateurs!


With all my heart I congratulate you on the International Chess Day! Our intellectual game has become an integral part of people’s lives not only in Russia, but in many other countries as well. Thanks to a tireless effort of chess enthusiasts, sponsors’ support and success of our sportsmen of all ages, the number of competitions and various chess events grows constantly, new chess clubs and sections are being opened, and the RCF’s programmes Chess to Orphanages and Chess in Schools are successfully developed.
 
I wish victories on all fronts to all chess players!

RCF President, FIDE Vice-President Andrey Filatov
