The event was held at NICD Polgolla, organized by The Future Chess Academy. Young chess players sat quietly at their boards, with only candles lighting up the room. It was calm, peaceful, and magical.
Players, parents, and coaches described it as “magical,” “calming,” and “something truly different.” The soft candlelight brought a serene intensity to the game, focusing the mind while creating lasting memories for young minds.
This idea started back in 2023, when the first Candle Night tournament was held. Everyone loved it — the warm light, the quiet room, and the focus it gave the players. That’s why the academy brought it back again this year.
This is not just a chess tournament. It’s a memory these kids will never forget.
