It was an absolute privilege to have chess legend Magnus Carlsen personally sign our handmade Eralith Chess Set, which was auctioned at the LondonChessClassic charity dinner last night.

The set itself was crafted with care by our talented engineer, Periklis Petropoulos, featuring our innovative Eralith tiles as the board.

The chess set raised an incredible £3,400 for Chess in Schools and Communities, a charity dedicated to enhancing children's educational and social development through chess.

A heartfelt thank you to Magnus Carlsen for his support and to all who participated in the auction - your contributions will make a significant impact on the lives of many young learners.

A big thanks to the organisers and their sponsors XTX Markets for putting on such a fantastic event and for giving us the opportunity to take part. A special thanks also to Neil Crabb for facilitating and getting us involved! This was truly a 'knight' to remember, marking a significant 'move' towards a brighter future for children through the game of chess!
