How can I support Chess Projects?
We are interested in the opinions, points of view, experience and competence of any chess player. Please do not hesitate to contact us at info@chesspro.it to give us your suggestions for ideas and projects.
How does Chess Projects help promote the expansion of chess?
We intend to do so with passion, competence and fun. Thanks to the blitz, semi-blitz, classic and team tournaments that are held nationally and internationally for young people and adults. Thanks to the project “Chess in School”, the “Chess, Sports and Nature” opportunities for young people, the multicultural exchanges and so much more!
Is Chess Projects going to organise events outside Italy?
Yes! We started operating primarily in Italy, but the expansion of our mission includes collaborations as partners and consultants with whomever wishes to globally plan, develop or promote high quality projects with professional aptitude.
I am interested in organising or promoting a tournament, an internship or a chess project, and I am considering a possible partnership or collaboration… Could this be interesting for Chess Projects?
Why not! Do not hesitate to contact us with your projects and goals, our flexibility and availability will surprise you.
What is the Chess Projects Academy?
Chess Projects Academy offers all interested young people an efficient, modern and flexible point of reference that can accompany them in their technical growth in the practice of competitive chess activity.
Do you organise chess courses, training and internships for young people and adults?
Developing, promoting and spreading the game of chess is a fundamental aspect of our MISSION. We organise individual and group chess courses regularly or upon request. When we organise these events with schools and academic institutions it is part of the “Chess in School” project.
Is there the chance to collaborate with Chess Projects as a promoter or instructor?
Of course! We are always looking for people who want to interact with us showing passion, loyalty and competence. These are the same features we put into the work we do!
We are particularly interested in collaborations relating to developing the “Chess in School” project across Italy.
How can Chess Projects help me grow as an instructor?
Chess Projects coordinates many didactic projects about chess in a number of public and private academic institutions, where instructors can challenge themselves by working in a didactic setting. We also aim to regularly organise seminars to update instructors and to allow them to share and optimise their experiences and technical methods.
What does the Chess Projects team activity entail?
Chess Projects has two competitive teams, participating in the CIS (Italian Team Championship). In the year 2023 it will have two “Chess Projects Surfers” and “Chess Projects Wizards”.
Do you only have adult teams or are there youth teams as well?
At the moment, yes. If you’re interested, please don’t hesitate to contact us at info@chesspro.it
What are the aims of the team activities promoted by Chess Projects?
Bearing in mind that the main aim of team games is to have fun and create group harmony, from a sporting point of view we aim to have three teams rising towards the biggest series of CIS and Trofeo Lombardia (Lombardy cup) as quickly as possible.
