Algunos dicen que la política mundial es como un tablero de ajedrez. Los jugadores de ajedrez intentan ganar, pero con respeto y dándose la mano. Los peones se pueden capturar, pero no mueren: vuelven al tablero después de cada partida... Que prevalezca el entendimiento y la paz.

GM Leinier 🇺🇲 got his first victory in the quest for a spot in the Candidates, while Akos 🇭🇺 got one of the chess-moments of his life (and probably one of the best photos for his chess albums). A rare win-win game today in the first board of @chessable Sunway Sitges' 1st round!

David Navara, a great player, polite and really friendly: it would be great to see him playing in Sitges at some point as well! One of the biggest rounds of applause of the closing ceremony at @GibraltarChess was for him, well deserved

GM Pranav Anand 🇮🇳 has been playing in our event since 2016. Today he's facing one of the biggest games he had in #Sitges against GM Leinier Domínguez 🇺🇲. He didn't look nervous before the game as you can see, and he said he's s confident he can play a good game this afternoon...

Today was an exhausting day of chess and side activities at #SunwaySitges and players are finally resting now. The "Champions' Corridor" of the venue (inside the official hotel) is lonely now... Thanks @Anna_Chess , @DanielKingChess , @pepeich_cuenca and @El_Divis for broadcasting!

Cheat-detection was our priority during the online classic open that we organized during the 2020 lockdown (it went really well thanks to @ChesscomLive ), and we take it seriously now also during the @chessable #SunwaySitges Festival. Special thanks to top players for cooperating!

We're particularly glad to be able to present The Thinkers photo exhibition by @davidllada at #SunwaySitges . From the 1st edition of our tournament we hoped to have him here one day, despite knowing that his obligations at @FIDE_chess keep him busy, so finally a piece of him! 📸
