Exceptional! Quenza welcomes multiple world champion on July 6 and 7

Chess has always evolved in the same way as international realities… Today, India is the most populous country in the world, with 1 billion 400 million inhabitants, and has also become the leading chess power. Vishy Anand has a lot to do with this. A national hero, he loves Corsica and the Corsicans adore him. The vice-president of the FIDE (Fédération Internationale des Échecs) will be a special guest at the Quenza 2024 tournament.

In addition to this emblematic figure, many other Grand Masters and international Masters will be present, including the multi-champion of France, Laurent Fressinet, Maxime Lagarde champion of France 2019, the Franco-Iranian feminine Grand Master Mitra Hejazipour, and many other renowned players who constitute a unique opportunity for amateurs to measure themselves against the world elite.

What’s more, an exceptional endowment of prizes in kind, including over €9,000 and the coveted Alta Rocca “prizutti”, promises to attract a wide audience of amateur players, young and old alike.

Solid partnerships for a major event

The organization of this major event relies on solid partnerships, including one with 6e Sens Immobilier, a company committed to supporting cultural and sporting initiatives that enrich local life. We would like to express our deep gratitude for their essential support in implementing an exemplary socio-educational initiative.

Our thanks also go to the Mayor of Quenza, Roselyne Balesi, and her municipal council, who have given their full support to this initiative. A reception will be organized in honor of participants and village residents. A marquee will be erected for the occasion.
