Want to play in a large international tournament? Sure you do! Coming up soon, the Korea Chess Federation will host the 2021 Online World Youth Mind Sports Fair! This is a collection of international Mind Sports events for world youths and includes Chess, Baduk (Go), Mental Arithmetic, Puzzle and Sudoku.
