Dear National Chess Federations,
In 2021 Chessable, the world’s leading chess E-learning platform, in partnership with FIDE, has launched the FIDE Chessable Academy, aiming to support young talents worldwide and encourage them to succeed in chess. 250 most talented and promising young players between the ages of 8 to 16, representing 100 national federations, attended the program from July till December 2021, learning and improving their chess working with the strongest trainers.
The programme will resume in March 2022. National federations are asked either to confirm their previous nominations or to appoint new participants of the FIDE Chessable Academy by filling in this registration form and sending it to
chessable@fide.com on or prior to 16 January 2022.

You may also nominate other deserving players who are interested in and can make a commitment to FIDE Chessable Academy, and we will give them due consideration for additional places.
Thank you!

3.2. FIDE Chessable Academy
This three-year program saw as many as 250 young players from 100 Federations between 8-16 years of age, equally divided between boys and girls, train for six months from July 2022 for two hours a week.
The main groups were in English, Spanish, and Russian and the level ranged from 2600 to unrated.
A year end camp saw 12 attendees given the opportunity to train with Viswanathan Anand and watch the FIDE World Championship Match in Dubai.
In 2022, significant improvements have been proposed, including having more focused groups with a smaller core group of trainers, a yearly schedule of six months training and six months of tournaments, and to have clearly measurable outcomes.
Most certainly to also expand the opportunity for participation beyond Federation nominations while prioritizing the program for young players with limited or no trainer support.
3.3. Cooperation & Interfaces with Relevant Commissions
With WOM, to hold a FIDE Trainer Seminar where lecturers and participants all female.
To organize with DIS with MED, a Special Trainer Workshop during the Olympiad for People with Disabilities.
