But we have changed things a little during the Candidates Tournament 2024. This time around, we have a Chess Joke Contest going on! People have to use the Hashtag #chessjokecbi and make funny/witty chess memes on various social media platforms. The best ones will receive a brand new ChessBase India product - the 10-inch mini chess set signed by all of the Candidates! Read some of our favorite entries so far in the article below.
