Hi everyone,
The Indian subcontinent and some other countries are celebrating a very important festival today – The ‘Festival of Lights’ or Diwali, or Deepawali. It’s a big event in the region
There is a whole night of fireworks, prayers and even gambling to welcome the Goddess of Wealth – it signifies the triumph of good over evil. Diwali is an official holiday in India, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Mauritius, Guyana, Trinidad & Tobago,Suriname, Malaysia, Singapore, and Fiji.
We wish all our friends a happy and prosperous Diwali and what better way to enjoy it than our own ‘fireworks’ on the chessboard. Enjoy.
