Abdullah Abdulghani & Bros. Co. (AAB), the exclusive distributor of Toyota and Lexus in Qatar, collaborates with Qatar Chess Association (QCA) in organising the WE ARE GOOD TOGETHER Online Chess Marathon in conjunction with the advent of Ramadan.
WE ARE GOOD TOGETHER is a four-hour Blitz Chess Marathon played on Lichess, an open source Internet Chess server. Participants were allowed to play at their own leisure during the time frame.
Players who got the most points were ranked accordingly and declared as winners.
WE ARE GOOD TOGETHER makes a difference as it encourages the participants to play for a cause and give back to their respective communities. In the spirit of giving, 10 percent of the winners’ prize money goes to Qatar Charity to support its COVID-19 programme or any of its global relief campaigns.
Participants are also given the opportunity to voluntarily contribute to their preferred cause which can be seen on the Qatar Charity website.
More than 2,800 chess enthusiasts with 88 Grand Masters and a number of renowned chess players around the world participated which proved the event to be a very strong Chess Marathon.
The event is made possible due to the strong partnership with QCA as part of AAB’s CSR initiatives and commitment to build and support a community of strategic thinkers through sports while at the same time contributing to the development of a just and caring society.
