PLAY THE WORLD No.1 IN A CHARITY SIMUL ON THE ICC!

World #1 Vishy Anand of India is once again utilizing the services of the Internet Chess Club (ICC – www.chessclub.com) to champion a cause that is close to his heart: Vidyasagar, a non-profit organization that strives for inclusion of children with autism and cerebral palsy.

You can bid on a seat at the Ebay Auction!

Last year, Anand held a successful simul on the ICC that raised much-needed funds for the Indian charity he’s become associated with. It was so successful that he’s again looking for the goodwill of chess players to play their part in a fun-filled challenging day in aid of the charity.

“I am really happy that last year the ICC showed good corporate citizenship in partnering us in this initiative,” said Anand. “Cerebral palsy by itself is a complex problem, and each child's condition is a unique challenge. For me, it is a personal dream to see these children smile brighter - and this is the best move we as chess players can make together to help them.”
