"Chess saved my life," Kamila Hryshchenko was forced to leave her home in Kramatorsk - she now lives in Hull after an international network of chess players helped whisk her and her mother to safety... An amazing news item from @SkyNews & @MikeRDrummond

How an international network of chess players helped whisk a Ukrainian woman to safety

As bombs fell around her, an international network of chess friends rescued rising star Kamila Hryshchenko from Kramatorsk and brought her to the UK. Now she plays for England.
