Lorsque j’ai été invitée à jouer une simultanée d’échecs face à près d’une quarantaine de personnes, à l’occasion des 300 ans de la naissance de François-André Philidor, je ne m’attendais pas à vivre une expérience aussi particulière.
Philidor était à la fois un compositeur reconnu et l’un des plus grands joueurs d’échecs de son époque. J’ai trouvé très beau de voir ces deux univers se retrouver, près de trois siècles plus tard, autour d’un même événement.
Cette rencontre, organisée par Petites Mains Symphoniques, m’a permis de découvrir un croisement entre la musique et les échecs que je n’avais encore jamais vécu de cette manière. ♟🎶

An unsound sacrifice nicely refuted by Fischer. Worth mentioning the bizarre circumstances of this tournament for Fischer, who was denied travel by the State Dept to play in the Capablanca Memorial in Havana and had to play all of his games by telex from the Marshall Club in NYC!
Chess has all the attributes of an ancient curse: too deep for mere relaxation, too difficult to master, too unrewarding to guarantee good living, and too beautiful to quit.

India's chess rise is one of the great sports stories of our era, backed by Adani, celebrated by PM Modi, embraced by cricket stars and the whole culture. That's what national belief looks like. American chess has the talent to compete at that level. What we need now is that same support behind our next generation. 🇺🇸
