World Chess Festival, 10 October
The World Chess Festival, founded by Judit Polgár, will be held for the sixth time on Saturday, October 10. Due to the pandemic, it will move online this year.

Polgár, the best female champion of all time, will host discussions with legendary Russian world chess champion Gary Kasparov and chess great Vladimir Kramnik.

Polgár told Inforádió that topics such as the therapeutic effect of chess on problematic children and how sport changes their life will be on the agenda.

Her conversation with Kasparov, planned to last 45 minutes, will cover such questions as why the Russian world chess champion decided to retire.
