Chess Ideas
Chess Ideas, based in Melbourne, is Australia's first chess coaching company, providing chess to schools since 1994. Chess is all about deduction, reasoning, strategic analysis, concentration, spatial awareness, logic, social interaction and so much more. But most of all, it's fun!

The Wide World of Chess
All Chess Ideas tournaments run under the umbrella of Chess Victoria and therefore as part of the Worldwide FIDE Organization.
Because of this, the school that wins the Victorian State Championship run by Chess Victoria, has the chance to compete in the National Chess Championship run by the Australian Chess Federation in which schools from all states and territories play.
In 2007 the National championships were held in Queensland in December.
An Australian team (often made up of students who have played in this National championship) then competes overseas in the World Junior Championships. One of our directors, IGM Darryl Johansen, frequently accompanies this team as coach and mentor. In 2006 they played in Tbilisi Georgia and in 2007 in Turkey.
