Judit Polgar’s Global Chess Festival has released videos from this year’s event on their own YouTube channel. The Recap video offers a glimpse of the scope of the conference and the excitement it generated at the Hungarian National Gallery in Budapest. The day-long conference is now divided into shorter presentations that include topics such as “Creativity and Innovation in Sport” and interviews with guests like Erno Rubik, creator of the Rubik’s Cube.
