Grandmaster jan

The Global Chess League: As the chess world is gearing up for the second season of the Global Chess League, Grandmaster Jan-Krzysztof Duda, who is set to feature for the debutant team American Gambits, said the league makes him feel like a NBA player where the team owners can draft players.

Global Chess League is scheduled to take place from October 3 to 12 in London. The 2021 FIDE World Cup winner will team up with the likes of Hikaru Nakamura, Bibisara Assaubayeva, and other top Grandmasters from around the world for the American Gambits.

"The Global Chess League is the only chess event where team owners can draft players. It makes me feel like NBA player for a while," Duda expressed.
