Every year, the Judit Polgar Chess Foundation is organizing the Global Chess Festival. An interesting program during the festival is the Chess Artistry Adventure in memory of Pal Benko, a highly respected Hungarian-American grandmaster and composer, renowned for his awe-inspiring chess masterpieces.The Chess Artistry Adventure celebrates the artistic side of chess and honors the tireless efforts of composers who bring magic to the chessboard.
GM Judit Polgar writes: "Chess studies and composers have played a pivotal role in my personal growth and development, enhancing my understanding of the game and expanding my artistic vision. The joy and inspiration that endgame studies bring to top chess players are widely known. As a way of giving back to the composers' community, I acknowledge their invaluable contributions to chess through various platforms, including masterclasses, courses, live commentaries, and festivals. I invite you to create a study composition inspired by a tournament game that captivates over-the-board players."
Just like last year, I have participated with a study based on a theoretically important queen endgame. My entries (please, click on the links):
