When Candela Francisco was six years old, her parents bought her a chess set for Christmas for $1.50 because it was the only gift they could afford! Ten years later, Candela is the #womeninchess champion of the entire American continent! 😁👏👏👏 This is what #chess is about!

Most-viewed #chess tweet of the year? 🤔 Candela Francisco winning the continental championship is up to 3.5 million views (!!), more than anything Magnus, Hikaru, or World Champion Ding Liren-related! 🤯🤯🤯 🇦🇷 Argentina is unreal! 🇦🇷 🥳 #AnotherCoronaciónDeGloria
