Children in Pomorie can sign up until 5 November 2026 for a free online winter chess course for beginners, the municipality said.

Pomorie municipality is running the course with the Asenevtsi chess club. It is open to children from across the municipality. In the online groups, they will play against children their age from all over Bulgaria.

Signing up takes two steps.

In this group, the organisers will announce the schedule and the date of the first lesson.

The organisers say chess teaches children to think first and then act, and that this skill stays with them for life.
