Cyprus is hosting a big chess event! The World Chess Federation (FIDE) picked the country and the Cap St Georges Hotel & Resort for this top-level competition.
After events in Toronto and Singapore, where new champions were crowned, it’s now Paphos’s turn.
Today at 17:00, the official draw ceremony will happen at the beach of Agios Georgios Pegeia. This is when the match pairings for the World Championship will be set.
This event is set to raise Cyprus’s international profile and show how important it is for sports and culture. After the draw, there will be a reception for participants and guests.
