An 11-yrs. chess prodigy Akeras is facing a massive attack from the “chess mafia.”

We can’t fight them alone, which is why we are asking for your help and support in any form. Your assistance can be as simple as sharing, liking, or commenting, or as significant as funding and connections.

WHO IS THE CHESS MAFIA? They are corrupt individuals within the U.S. Chess Federation (USCF), chess.com, and Hikaru Nakamura, along with a group of dishonest people who are friends with the president of the chess federation, Kevin Pryor.

They could not tolerate Akeras’s rapid progress in chess and our ongoing calls for fair play, so they decided to eliminate Akeras and his dad from tournaments. Subsequently, they began attacking Akeras  on social media by spreading lies about Akeras and engaging in other activities that damage his reputation and cause further harm. They likely hoped we would quit chess, but they made a big mistake.

Akeras is committed to becoming the youngest world chess champion, and he has what it takes to achieve that.

The situation is very difficult for Akeras and his family, but with your help, WE WILL FIGHT AND WIN.

Chess is more than a game—it’s a tool for developing discipline, focus, and strategic thinking. By supporting Akeras, you are not only defending a young talent but also promoting the virtues of chess in schools and communities.

Join us in our mission to MAKE CHESS GREAT AGAIN. Together, we can ensure that the spirit of chess thrives and that every talented player, like Akeras, has the opportunity to shine.
