Our Journey in Pictures

Highlights from tournaments, collaborations and community programs.


"Chess is a forcing house where the fruits of character can ripen more fully than in life."

Edward Morgan Forster
English Author

Before the founding of One Chess Movement in 2025, many of our tournaments were organized under RiChessMasters, from which OCM was established. This gallery presents both those earlier events and our more recent initiatives, showing the continuity of our work in using chess for community and social impact.
