“This year is the 70th anniversary of victory over nazi-fascism in the Second World War. I think it’s a very meaningful fact that, after the conclusion of the Match of Friendship, all participants will pay a visit to the War Museum of 上海 (Shànghǎi). It’s important to combine general culture with chess for helping young people’s development, not only to increase the strength of play, but also to learn and understand the history. Even if in the future they were all to be professionals, life is not only chess”, 侯逸凡 (Hóu Yìfán) said.
