FIDE Chessable Academy
FIDE has entered into a six-year commercial partnership with Chessable, the world’s leading chess E-learning platform.
As part of this agreement, they are launching the FIDE Chessable Academy, a three-year junior educational program to be implemented by the FIDE Trainers Commission (TRG), and are inviting all member federations to nominate two of our top juniors, a boy and a girl, between the ages of 8 to 16.
In 2021, the program will run from June to December and will provide a minimum of two hours online every two weeks. At least the top 12 participants will be selected to attend one or more training camps by legendary players.
During the entire duration of the training programme, a panel of experts of FIDE and Chessable will oversee the progress of the participants, provide assignments, and work together in the evaluation of the young talents. Chessable will also provide learning materials and lessons, free of charge.
If you are interested in being considered for this opportunity, please email me at ruairidh.mckay@yahoo.co.uk by this coming Thursday 20th of May - the deadline for Chess Scotland getting the application to FIDE is Friday 21st May.
