The representative office of Rossotrudnichestvo in Jordan and the Coordinating Council of Organizations of Russian Compatriots in Jordan were among the organizers of the First Online Chess Tournament among Jordanian schoolchildren. Also in the organization of the tournament, which has already started and will last until mid-February, the Ministry of Education of Jordan and the country's Sports Federation are taking part, the council in Jordan reports on its Facebook page.
The initiative to hold an online chess tournament among students belonged to the Russian side. It was suggested that children 6x years old and older enrolled in public and private schools should be involved.
The tournament will be attended by about 4,000 students from 5,500 schools in Jordan. Competitions will be held in 4 age groups. The technical organization will be taken over by the youth wing of the council, and gifts for the prize-winners will be prepared by the representative office of Rossotrudnichestvo in Jordan.
The initiative was considered last December at a meeting at the Jordanian Ministry of Education, dedicated to the development of cooperation between Russia and Jordan.
