"The only way to improve your chess is to play against better players."
Paul Morphy
Participate in the best live and online chess tournaments
Fiji Chess Federation was registered with the World Chess Federation in 1979 through a chess club formed by Dr. Virgilio De Asa, and has since then progressed forward to earn several international titles like Women’s FIDE Master (WFM), Candidate Master (CM) and Women’s Candidate Master (WCM) through its athletes in Oceania Zonal Chess Championships and the World Chess Olympiad.
Fiji’s officials have also earned international titles like FIDE Arbiter (FA), National Arbiter (NA), International Organizer (IO), FIDE Instructor (FI), National Instructor (NI) and Development Instructor (DI) for administering chess tournaments and coaching classes.
“In the last Olympiad from 2022, Fiji managed to secure two WCM and one CM title which is the highest we achieved so far in a single World Chess Championship,” adds Goru Arvind. “The upcoming 45th World Chess Olympiad at Budapest in Hungary will mark the international debut of Makayla Sukhu of Suva Grammar School and Yash Krishen Maharaj who is a student at The University of the South Pacific.”
