Hello everyone,
When was the last time you heard about a chess tournament in Mongolia? We always like to hear about chess growing in countries that are just developing the chess culture. Here is one such chess news and we would like to share it.
In recognition of the 100th anniversary of diplomatic service in Mongolia the International Chess Tournament, organised by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade, the Mongolian Chess Federation, and the Mongolian Forum of the World under the name of Chin Van M.Khanddorj started on December 5.
