Singapore is seeing, from the 7th to 12th of June, perhaps the strongest chess tournament held there in recent years – the QCD-Prof. Lim Kok Ann Grandmasters Invitational.
QCD is a new sponsor for Singapore chess and is committed to helping support this event for the next three years which already in its first edition has been seen many in the local community stepping forward with very generous financial contributions.
Yes, what more when beyond the usual creating of title norm opportunities for local talents, the event was also in honour of Prof. Lim Kok Ann, the Father of Singapore Chess!
Everything you need to know about the event is at www.qcdchess.com with live games broadcast on major live game viewing sites www.chess24.com and www.playchess.com and picked up by mobile Apps like Follow Chess.
Here we instead share photos from the first opening ceremony, tribute and first round so as to appreciate the wonderful atmosphere where the entire local chess community came together.
