Confidential counselor

Confidential counselor during the tournament

In the chess world, there is fortunately an increasing focus on the importance of a safe, inclusive and respectful environment. Chess is for everyone and at the Amsterdam Chess Open we do everything we can to ensure that all participants feel welcome and safe.

That is why a confidential counselor is available during the tournament. Have you had to deal with (or are you dealing with) transgressive behavior, are you worried about something or do you just want to get something off your chest? You can always contact her, before, during and after the tournament.

Marjolein Aarten, board member of the ACO, fulfills this role. During the tournament you can speak to her personally, or contact her via WhatsApp: +31 40 720 1727.
