The plan worked. The program was discovered on the Internet, a novelty, and many Russians followed the Games, discovering Goa.“After that, a lot of Russian came to Goa as tourists, and many still keep coming. This awareness was then made back through chess,” Kenny says.Since 2002, the players and officials were most remembered that there was care and hospitality.Goa, who has been known for his warmth for a long time, left his mark on the chess world. Kenny recalls, “The officials who attended many world juniors told us that in the context of food and hospitality, the Goa version was the best he had ever seen,” Kenny recalls.And then, there were light moments.“Culture here is something that people can really enjoy. I remember when the players came to the world juniors, they were all dancing with joy. We also had a disco here. In Iran, they do not allow dancing, but an Iranian player spent the whole day enjoying himself, dancing like everyone, “Kenny continues with a laugh.

For the Goa Chess Association, the 2002 version was also a learning stage. The state has since organized nine citizens and several friendly programs, but 2002 remains special.“For us, this was the first time we were hosting something on that scale. We had international intermediaries; We had to complete many cultures. This assured us that Goa could give a world -class program, “Kenny, he himself says an international mediator (IA).Two decades ago, Goa introduced itself from the world chess community with palm trees, beaches, music and food. Now, as the world’s best return to the FIDE World Cup 2025, it is a 2002 memory that provides emotional anchor.As Kenny says: “After the 2002 incident, we have not got the opportunity to hold a world tournament.”
