In 1976, Garry Kasparov set a record for becoming the champion of the USSR among young men (no older than 18 years old) in less than 13 years. It seemed impossible to surpass this achievement! But in 1986, Gata Kamsky did it!

🥇King/Queen of 2020🥇
🎁10K 100% Guaranteed🎁
Starting this Sunday May 24th, 2020 all the way to December 27th, 2020 we have 32 Sundays. That means 32 Unity Weekly tournaments.
We came up with a plan to add some more excitements to the competitions by making special prizes for King/Queen champions of these 32 sessions.
For every 4 sessions, we get together the 4 champions of Open, Women, Senior, U16, U12 and make a double round robin tournament. The winners of these matches will be the champion of that season (4 sessions).
On the first week of the new year, we will have a round robin championship between the champions of each season. The winners of these matches will become the King/Queen champion of 2020!
The same thing will happen for the countries. After 4 sessions, they will compete in a 2 hours match in Arena format. The champion of this match will become the champion of that season. At the end of the year, we will have a championship Arena (2hours) tournament to find the team winner of the year. The top 100 players who attended at least one session of the Unity Weekly International will receive the prize.
These tournaments are free for all the participants.
All the matches will happen on Saturdays at 16 GMT.
Here are the Sessions and Seasons:
