Of course Viswanathan Anand held a charity fundraiser for cerebral palsy in India, but this gesture is perhaps the first of its kind by a cadre of Grandmasters to help a fund in Africa. The continent has been faced with a number of political, economic and social challenges over the past five decades and such gestures will certainly lift the morale of the African sons and daughters. The gesture by Ponomariov, Topalov, Polgar and Kasimjanov is greatly appreciated and they are to be commended. One day Africa will produce a champion chess player and we may find that he/she may have looked at this gesture as a as point of inspiration.
