Mumbai boy Jaiveer Mahendru's sensational wildcard entry to the Abu Dhabi Masters

The Abu Dhabi Chess Festival is hosting their 31st edition this year with a massive prize fund of USD 55,500, featuring seventeen different exciting tournaments to offer an opportunity for players of all levels. The organisers of the festival presented us with this first of its kind special chance where the winner of the tournament will get a wildcard entry to play the Abu Dhabi Masters, one-way flight ticket to Abu Dhabi, visa and free entry to play any tournament of the festival subject to eligibility. This step can be a game changer for the young Indian talents who are always looking for great opportunities like these and we hope that the festival continues to support the initiative and we can arrange bigger tournaments in the coming days which can produce many young talents.
