Dear chess friends,

The official FIDE & WFCC World Solving Championships for Youth and Cadets are set to take place this autumn, with events in Florianópolis, Brazil, on November 4 (U14, U16 & U18), and Montesilvano, Italy, on November 21 2024 (U8, U10 & U12).

You can see a promotional video here.

Both events will be organized during the free day of World Youth Chess Championships (28.10-10.11) and World Cadet Chess Championships (14-27.11), mirroring the age and gender categories of the main events.

For the first time, FIDE is collaborating with the World Federation for Chess Composition (WFCC) to host these events as a part of FIDE's centenary celebrations. In the registration forms below, under “Terms & Conditions”, you may find complete Regulations, Instructions and Illustrative examples.

To help new generations get acquainted with deep-rooted principles and rich history of chess composition, the WFCC has organized free online training sessions for participants, trainers and all other interested in this branch of chess art.
