JR Chess Foundation 61140 Campaign

The international body governing the game of chess is FIDE (Federation Internationale des Echecs). Many countries have their respective national organizations for chess that are further members of the FIDE. An interesting fact is that the FIDE, being a member of the IOC (International Olympic Committee) organizes its own Olympiad without involving chess in the Olympic Games. The chess Olympiad is organized as a team event every two years. Other major competitions are the World Junior Chess Championship, The National Chess Championships, and the European Individual Chess Championship.
