The Chairperson (Ms. Polgar) especially praised FIDE for the Women’s World Blitz and Rapid Championships in Saudi Arabia which had a substantially increased prize fund, though it was only one third of the prize in the Open section. The total prize fund in the Women’s championships were $250,000 for each event. Beatriz Marinello reported on her project “Smart Girl” on behalf of the Social Action commission, which included projects in Uganda, Chile, France and the US. This projects seeks to increase participation by girls in chess in those countries. Martha Fierro elaborated on the project about chess in women prisons in Genoa, Italy, which involved the training of refugees in Italy who in turn, train women prisoners. Sophia Rohde from the United States shared some of the work their federation is in doing to promote chess for girls in the USA.

The Indian took the stick and swept an immense ring around both circles: 'This is where the white man and the red man know nothing.' Carl Sandburg « L'home blanc va dibuixar un cercle petit » L'home blanc va dibuixar un cerce petit a la sorra i va dir al pell roja: "Això és els que coneixeu els indis" i tot seguit va dibuixar un cercle gran al voltant del petit: "Això és el que coneixem els homes blancs." L'indi va agafar el pal i va escombrar un enorme cercle al voltant dels altres dos: "Això és on ni l'home blanc ni el pell roja no coneixen gens". 2 3 4 5 Índex Pàgina Introducció 7 Greencards for Cultural Integration 11 Readers 113 - Around the world in ten Tintin books 118 - Australia 129 - America 139 - Far and Middle East 155 - Africa 177 - Far East.

I would like to mention that the whole family contributed to this book. We are also extremely thankful to our friends, who, thanks to their previous experience, have introduced us to the process of creating chess books, with their invaluable advice and ideas. Considering the abundance of material regarding this topic that was gathered, we decided to make this book only the first, lower level of the “Positional sacrifice” edition. My father and I worked hard to make sure that the new book will be as interesting as the first one, but also more adapted to the wider audience.
