The fourth and decisive leg of the FIDE Women’s Grand Prix will take place in Cyprus from May 15 to May 28. The event will be held under the auspices of the Cyprus Chess Federation and supported by the Limassol-based Freedom Finance Europe, the European subsidiary of Freedom Holding Corp.
“This event is one more step towards strengthening our intended long-term partnership with Freedom Holding Corp., following the successful cooperation during the World Rapid and Blitz in Almaty and the upcoming World Championship Match in Astana, where Freedom Holding will be the General Partner”, said FIDE's CEO Emil Sutovsky.
“I would also like to stress that Cyprus has never hosted any major FIDE event or any other chess event of this caliber. Bringing top-level competitions to the countries which haven’t staged top-level events for many years - or ever, like the recently announced Candidates Tournament in Canada, or the Olympic Esports Series in Singapore, is one of FIDE's goals, and we are happy to make it possible thanks to the support of Freedom Finance Europe”, he added.
Making the right decisions in chess - Fundamentals
In a total of 6 chapters, we look at the following aspects: the right decision based on tactical factors, decisions in exchanges and moves, complex and psychological decisions in longer games and in defence.
“We are honored to sponsor this tournament. We know that both in chess and in business, success often depends on the will to win and the ability to think a few steps ahead. Freedom Holding Corp. and its founder Timur Turlov, the head of the Kazakhstan Chess Federation, do a lot to popularize chess and educate new champions. Thanks to our joint efforts with FIDE, chess has been attracting more players, helping them to realize their potential and achieve high goals. We sincerely wish all the participants spectacular chess ideas and fair victories. I am sure that we will see many beautiful and interesting games”, said Evgeniy Tyapkin, Executive Director of Freedom Finance Europe.
Criton Tornaritis, President of the Cyprus Chess Federation, said: “We work behind the scenes and are very excited to see this event coming to Cyprus. I want to highlight the perfect alignment between FIDE, the Cyprus Chess Federation, and the sponsor, Freedom Holding Corp. We look forward to expanding this cooperation to our future projects”.
The tournament will be held at the Hilton Hotel in Cyprus’ capital, Nicosia. Featuring 12 ballrooms and state-of-the-art technology meeting rooms, totalling 1,800 square meters of space for events, the venue is a very suitable option for both leisure and business visitors.
