This year, FIDE celebrates 100 years of excellence and strategy. Bridging divides across continents, chess is a common language cultivating a culture of healthy competition and camaraderie. In tribute to this rich history, we continue to expand and connect communities hosting the 2024 championships in North America for the first time. Approximately 300 of the best players from across the globe will gather to compete in New York City on Wall Street, where calculated moves and thoughtful strategy are king.
