Join Chess Tournaments Away From Home, or…

Do something else while your child/ partner/ friend plays chess

We are developing programs to Mexico City and Iceland. Check back for details or get in touch to be added to the mailing list.

In the meantime, Imagine these two daytime scenarios:

Join fellow chess players in other cities and other countries

  • Take lessons together

  • Have meals together

  • Play in tournaments together

  • Meet local players

  • Make friends who love chess

While your child/ partner/ friend plays chess, you join others in your situation and:

  • Take a local, food walking tour for lunch

  • Visit a local winery for a tasting

  • Visit a unique, local hideaway

  • Explore the local area with chess families/ friends

In the evenings, get together as a group for dinner. Before and/ or after a tournament, take a 2-3 day excursion with the group.

Are you a member of a chess club or run a chess club? Ask us to do something similar for you.

AEA has 20 years of experience developing programs in 100 countries.

There is no charge for our services.

Mexico City

This Chess & City program takes place in Mexico City. The focus for chess players centers around chess lessons at a local chess school founded by a national champion and run by his daughter, a former University of Mexico champion. And of course, there will be tournaments, both casual and ranked.

There are numerous activities for friends and family, including art making, canal tours, walking tours, and axolotl rehabilitation visits.

In the evenings, there are many excellent places to eat together or separately. And before and after the chess program, there are many multi-day side trips available, including Puebla, Queretaro, San Miguel de Allende and Cuernavaca.

Iceland

This Chess & Trek program takes places in Iceland. The focus for chess players pivots around lessons and tournaments at a local club, Iceland’s history with Bobby Fischer, and an international tournament. Make sure to get your FIDE if you plan to play in that. We may even be able to meet one of Iceland’s Grand Masters.

There are numerous activities for friends and family, including the museums, hot springs, delicious food and gorgeous hikes.

In the evenings, there are many excellent places to eat together or separately. And we may catch an aurora.

Before and after the chess program, there are many multi-day side trips available, including the Southern circuit, or visiting other parts of the country by self-drive or flights.
