Mission Statement

At Chess Hub Sdn. Bhd., our mission is to cultivate a thriving and inclusive Malaysian chess ecosystem.

We achieve this through three core pillars: organising world-class classical tournaments, nurturing players of all levels (from aspiring youth to national champions) with elite training and competitive opportunities, and engaging the broader community through inclusive outreach programs.

By uniting excellence with inclusivity, we aim to inspire a passion for chess across Malaysia and empower Malaysians of all ages and backgrounds to reach their full potential through chess.

Foster a vibrant and inclusive chess community through outreach and educational programs that bring chess into schools, community centres, and online platforms.

Promote strategic thinking, resilience, and sportsmanship by ensuring every player has the resources and support needed to thrive.
