A rare chess experience for young players
Help Bring a Grandmaster Simul to Our Young Players
Victory Chess Club is raising $1,000 to create a 20-board simultaneous exhibition with GM Evgeny Bareev—and a professionally produced short event video that will carry its impact far beyond one day.
Who will play?
20 of Victory Chess Club’s strongest young players
Participants will be selected from prize winners across several of our most recent tournaments—rewarding commitment and achievement with a rare opportunity to face a world-class grandmaster.
Why this matters
One unforgettable challenge can change how a child sees chess
Reward earned achievement
Recent prize winners will earn the chance to sit across the board from a grandmaster who reached the highest level of the game.
Create a shared memory
The simul brings players, families, and the local chess community together around a rare experience in Etobicoke.
Reach beyond the room
A professionally produced video will let many more children and families experience the inspiration online.
Transparent funding
Every dollar has a clear purpose.
The full $1,000 fundraising goal is allocated to two essential costs: bringing GM Bareev to the event and creating a polished short video that keeps the experience alive online.
