This is the first ever Polgar Chess, Education and Cultural tour. I am very pleased so far and I hope to be able to continue this for many years to come. I think it is very important to learn and understand about different lifestyles and cultures and what better way to do it than through chess.

This inaugural group has players from Germany, France, Ukraine, Vietnam, Hungary and the United States. Even as a native of Budapest, I learned a lot by spending time with people from all different backgrounds.

Aquaprofit, the sponsor of the Polgar Chess Day spectacle, has expressed interests to sponsor this event again next year. The next Polgar Chess, Education and Cultural tour will be scheduled at the same time so everyone can take advantage of this very special event. Details will be announced soon on this blog.
