Spec Entertainment partners with CA’s Life to hold a Lichess online tournament on April 29.
The tournament’s goal is to support “United Queens Fundraising: We can conquer COVID-19” program to help give relief goods to the homeless and those families who are strongly affected amid this COVID 19 outbreak.
Frank Barendse is CEO and shareholder of Spec Entertainment one of the biggest management agencies in the Netherlands, representing a number of leading urban artists, influencers, and TV celebs.
Barendse said online chess is an excellent game to stay mentally healthy while keeping the social distance in these lock-down times.
“We are glad to sponsor this tournament, organized by my online coach WFM Cherry Ann Mejia. Let’s enjoy the game from both ends of the globe,” he said.
The tournament is open to participants from all countries.
