I am reaching out to request your support in helping my 11-year-old son, Bryan, represent South Africa at the FIDE World Youth Rapid & Blitz Chess Championship 2025, taking place from April 12–18, 2025, in Rhodes, Greece.

This prestigious event, supported by SASCOC and FIDE, brings together the world’s most talented young chess players, giving them a chance to compete at the highest level on an international stage.

Bryan has been selected as one of South Africa’s top 10 players on the Rating & Grand Prix list, a remarkable achievement that reflects his dedication, talent, and passion for chess. Bryan has worked tirelessly to earn his place among South Africa’s top 10 young chess players, securing a spot on the Rating & Grand Prix list.

His dedication has led to his invitation to the FIDE World Youth Rapid & Blitz Chess Championship 2025, where he will have the chance to compete against the world’s best young players in Rhodes, Greece.

Our goal is to give Bryan the opportunity to showcase his talent on the international stage and represent South Africa with pride. However, as a family, we face significant financial challenges in covering the costs of this once-in-a-lifetime experience.

That is why we are reaching out to potential sponsors and supporters who believe in investing in young talent and the future of South African chess.

By supporting Bryan’s journey, you are not just funding a trip—you are helping a young athlete reach his full potential and inspiring other aspiring chess players in South Africa to dream big.

We would be honored to have your support in making this incredible opportunity a reality for Bryan!
