ChessKid, Balkan Chess Federation Announce New Partnership

 The Balkan Chess Federation and ChessKid seek to form a mutually beneficial partnership by using the safest online chess platform to attract additional chess players, coaches, and arbiters from among the Balkan Chess Federation's members to further develop the growth of chess and promote chess development for kids.

Under the terms of the agreement, all Balkan Chess Federation members (including Albania, Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Greece, Bulgaria, Romania, Kosovo, Moldova, and Turkey) will receive annual open access for all kids under 12 years old registered in each of the member federations, starting from January 2023.

It's a great way for children to improve their chess skills, as a gold subscription will provide them with:

• Full, unlimited access to the entire ChessKid.com site with personal usernames and IDs
• All of ChessKid's educational features, with interactive and guided lessons for all levels
• Unlimited live chess, slow chess, all 10 computer chess levels, puzzles, puzzle duels, computer workouts, and more than 800 educational videos (with new content added on a regular basis)
• A full game history function, which saves all of the games played on the site

In November 2022, ChessKid will organize a Zoom meeting for the representatives of all Balkan Chess Federation members to provide technical and educational support. In January 2023, the partnership will enter in full force as the agreement's obligations are implemented.

ChessKid is very happy about developing this relationship, and we hope that it will lay the foundation for further partnership between the federations!
