Our partner, Okay Torun, is from Kütahya, Turkey.
We have successfully completed the first three phases of the project:
Planning – We defined the competition rules, registered on the ChessKid platform, and promoted the event among our target audience.
Registration – We invited participants, collected the necessary information, and assigned ChessKid accounts to each student.
Setup – We created the dedicated club and tournament space on ChessKid, ensuring everything is ready for the matches.
With these stages finalized, we are now looking forward to the next step: the chess competition itself, which is scheduled to begin on Thursday, June 5th, at 1 p.m.
