We encourage all Chess Gaja students to participate in the FIDE – ISF World School Teams Online Chess Cup tournament. The Organizing Committee has made some changes to the event regulations based on requests from participants and to enable more teams to register and take part in the Cup. As a result, the competition has been postponed, and the new dates for the Qualification events are set for the 29th and 30th of April, with the Finals scheduled to take place on the 6th and 7th of May.
The FIDE – ISF World School Teams Online Chess Cup tournament is organized by FIDE, ISF (the International School Sport Federation), and World Chess. The tournament provides a platform for schools from FIDE and ISF member countries, as well as students from around the world, to connect with chess enthusiasts globally and showcase their skills in an official international chess tournament. The tournament features two age categories, U15 and U18, and each school team must consist of 1 to 7 full-time students from the same school.
Winners and medalists of the event will be rewarded with exclusive team training sessions with world-famous grandmasters, chessboards signed by the GMs, subscriptions for the World Chess Masterclasses program, and FIDE Online Arena premium membership packages. The tournament will be held online on the FIDE Online Arena, and the final stage will be broadcast live on World Chess and FIDE’s YouTube channels.
The new registration deadline is April 22, 2023. Please visit isf.fide.com to learn more about the event and register your team. We hope to see many Chess Gaja students participate and excel in this prestigious tournament.
