Worldwide Founders
Worldwide Chess enjoys the help of many respected chess coaches. In the early beginnings, Worldwide was organized with the help of several very engaged people, to whom we owe todays tournament:
- David Fryer from Crowborough Chess Club.
- Great help in organizing simuls and lectures was provided by IM Nico Zwirs (coach and author).
- Special collaboration with Universo Ajedrecistico.
- Later, more than 200 teams and coaches joined.
