FIDE (the World Chess Federation) unites 186 national chess federations throughout the world and is responsible for organizing all the World Championships in various age categories. FIDE has been established since 1924 and is recognized by the IOC as the world body responsible for chess and its Championships. Chess has been introduced as part of the educational curriculum in a growing number of countries and the ever increasing spread of internet access with 24-7 online play, has made interest in the game even greater. Chess is a global sport with a great future !
