    Amateur Chess

    The AmateurChess Organization (ACO) is a new chess organization that will organize world championships for amateurs, youth, and teams, starting in 2012. The ACO stands primarily for fun in chess and for social exchange among chess players. The ACO is a fully independent organization, and see themselves as a complement to FIDE, not as competition.

    Question: Is this a political maneuver against FIDE by people who don't like the current president?

      The ACO is still a going concern, but have had to cancel their 2020 World Amateur and World Senior championship tournaments due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
