“I think it is interesting for children because they are trying to play maximally. Chess is the game which welcomes equality in everything. Chess has the ability to bring people closer”, Aronian said.

Director of the “Bridge of Hope” NGO Susanna Tedovsyan thanked Aronian for holding the chess session.

Aronian has been participating in the initiative for 7 consecutive years.
