Day 2
The atmosphere at the Paralympic Training Centre in Astana remains full of energy and inspiration as the 2nd FIDE Chess Olympiad for People with Disabilities continues into its second day.
For many players, simply being here is already a victory – a triumph of willpower and perseverance over life’s challenges. Each move made across the chessboards carries a deeper meaning: determination, pride, and unity.
At the start of Round 2, the ceremonial first move was made by the Ambassador of Venezuela to Kazakhstan, Rosalba Lo Bué Antico, together with FIDE Deputy Chair of the Management Board, WGM Dana Reizniece.
