Review for chessmates tournament
Staying in Muscat, in a different time zone, my son attended Chessmates, an online chess program for kids taught by Chess Masters sitting in Pune. I was pleased by the team’s effort for conducting it in a well-organized manner with proper time management and effective communication at all levels.
