Today is International Chess Day

101 years ago on this day, the International Chess Federation — FIDE — was founded, bringing together all national federations under one roof.

July 20 is celebrated as the International Chess Day.

The Armenian Chess Federation warmly congratulates all chess players, chess enthusiasts, and devoted supporters of the game on this special occasion. We encourage everyone to continue spreading the beauty and values of this brilliant game, which has been an inseparable part of human intellect and creativity for centuries.
