Dear Friends,

Federation and around 1,5 million children learning chess in schools.

Every day, every month, every year, these numbers are increasing.

Also we have around 40.000 instructors certified by the TSF and teaching chess in schools. However, increasing the quality of this people, for club level training will need a lot more time.

In the meantime, we have had a huge expression of interest from parents to get more personal coaches and professional trainers in Turkey.

· They will work in a town or in a few towns where the TSF will decide.
