Tournaments Overview
Tournaments are the foundation of every chess education—even without any competitive ambitions. They’re where everything comes together: focus, discipline, resilience, and decision-making. Playing real games under real conditions is what allows students to truly unlock the benefits of chess.
That’s why we regularly run affordable and accessible tournaments for all levels. These events are designed to be welcoming, valuable, and part of every player’s journey.
