Reviving Chess Branches Across Armenian Regions

Our Mission: Resilience Through Education Chess is a core pillar of Armenian culture and education. The Chess Academy of Armenia once operated 56 regional branches. Today, financial challenges have reduced that number to just 26, leaving youth outside Yerevan underserved. We are launching a campaign to rebuild this vital network. We will start in the strategically critical border communities of the Syunik region. Phase 1 establishes a new branch in Kornidzor village, followed by a second branch in Vachagan village.
