Celebrated Chess Player Liza Orlova to Share Career Insights and Play Simultaneous Exhibition

Renowned chess player and Woman Candidate Master, Liza Orlova, is set to showcase her chess skills and share insights into her career at an event in Richmond this weekend. Orlova, a former competitive chess player who achieved numerous victories at a young age, will be speaking about her journey in the chess world and the impact the game has had on her life.

The event, scheduled for July 21 at the Brighouse library, will also feature Orlova playing against six opponents simultaneously in a demonstration of her strategic prowess. Known as “simuls,” these exhibitions are not only entertaining but also serve to promote the game of chess and its intellectual significance.

International Chess Day, which falls on the same day as the event, is a celebration of the game’s universal appeal and its ability to bring people together from all walks of life. Orlova emphasizes the importance of recognizing the contributions of chess players worldwide and inspiring new generations to take up the game.

Chess enthusiasts of all skill levels are invited to attend the event, which will provide an opportunity to witness Orlova’s skills in action and engage with the global chess community. Registration is required for the event, and more information can be found on the Brighouse library’s website.
