We believe speed chess is the ideal way to make chess appealing and less boring for the masses.
We believe in the attractiveness and excitement produced by pushing ones physical and energetic limits.
We are a young team working since 2007 far away from political considerations.
We believe actions speak louder than words.
We believe in the power of kindness and being surrounded by positive people.

"Rabat blitz is very well organised and I am always happy to play. Hope to see you all next year. WISHING youssef and his team a succesful event in 2015"
"I had never been to Morocco before and my main impression about this country is that people are full of hospitality and always ready to help. Concerning the tournament, it has been organized on top level. Despite being a blitz tournament, top boards were broadcasted live on world’s leading chess platforms. Until next time!”
