This match is dedicated to supporting UNICEF's "Help for Children from Ukraine" fundraising campaign. "We have chosen this organization because its work is very close to our hearts. Both we and UNICEF are happy about your support because really every contribution helps!" write the organizers on the landing page of the match, www.hybrid-chess.de.
