Each year on July 20, the global chess community unites to celebrate International Chess Day, commemorating the founding of FIDE in 1924. Last year marked a historic milestone – FIDE’s centennial anniversary, which celebrated a century of chess while laying the foundation for the next hundred years. Among the key legacies of that celebration is FIDE’s renewed commitment to long-term goals: from global expansion and accessibility to deepening chess’s social impact.
