Chess vs Covid!
During the Checkmate Covid Livestream we had some amazing matches lined up in order to raise funds and provide entertainment to the viewers.
Sagar and Samay were brutally crushed!
It was a 5+0 blitz and Kailashji's King's Indian was too strong for Samay to handle!
What is Hand and Brain? Harika would call out a piece and Vidit had to move it. Where to move is to be decided by Vidit. The same with the team of Tania and Adhiban. Tania would call out a piece and Adhiban would decide its destination. The game was well fought, but in the end black (Vidit + Harika) won.
The winners of the above battle were to meet Vishy Anand and Koneru Humpy in the hand and brain finale.
All of these players are great champions, but for this noble cause they waited patiently and played with all their energy! A big thanks to everyone who donated to this worthy cause.
