Frank Barendse, CEO and shareholder of the SPEC ENTERTAINMENT. Spec Entertainment is one of the biggest management agents in the Netherlands, representing a number of leading urban artists, influencers and tv celebs.
The CEO said Online-Chess is the single one game to stay mentally healthy, whilst keeping the social distance in these lock-down times. We are glad to sponsor this tournament, organised by my highly appreciated online coach WFM Cherry Ann Mejia. Let's enjoy the game from both ends of the globe!
