Lebanon

On May 19-20, the Rapid Championship was held in Lebanon with the support of idChess and the Lebanese Chess Federation. Children of different ages from all over the country attended the tournament.

Bulgaria

From May 25 to 26, Bulgaria hosted the Open Vratsa 2024 tournament. More than 40 players played 7 rounds with a time control of 50 minutes per game with 10 seconds added per move.

“Thanks to idChess, we were able to organize the broadcasting of the games and use VAR technology. This is the first tournament in Bulgaria with the idChess product. This experience was very helpful. I hope that large chess competitions will also be held with VAR in the future. I would recommend the idChess platform for other organizers”.
