You’ve explored the Infinite Chess universe, mastered the concepts in the first Handbook, and are ready for more. Now it’s time to help us chart the course ahead.
The FIDE Infinite Chess project is entering an exciting new phase, and we invite you to be at the very heart of it. We are thrilled to announce a special community Brainstorm Session on 20 June at 12:00 CEST, dedicated entirely to co-creating the much-anticipated second edition of the Infinite Chess Handbook.
This is more than just a meeting; it’s a collaborative workshop where your voice, your challenges, and your triumphs will directly shape the next chapter of our educational program.
The first Handbook was designed to open the door—to introduce the boundless possibilities of Infinite Chess, to build a foundation, and to spark curiosity. The feedback from our global community has been inspiring. A common theme has emerged: “We’ve finished the Handbook. What’s next?”
The answer to that question isn’t something we want to write behind closed doors. The continuation of your journey deserves content that is born from real experience, tested in real clubs and classrooms, and refined by the people who live and breathe Infinite Chess every day: you.
This Brainstorm session is your best—and most direct—opportunity to influence the official curriculum. The project team is not just presenting a finished product; we are laying the foundation stones in real-time, and we need your feedback.
Why your participation is critically important:
Your Issues, Solved: Have you encountered a specific stumbling block while teaching or playing beyond the basics? A concept that needs deeper explanation? This is the place to raise those issues.
Your Questions, Answered: This is a direct line to the project team and your fellow colleagues. Bring your most challenging questions and let’s find the answers together in a live, dynamic discussion.
Your Experiences, Shared: Every educator, every player, has a story. That unique method you developed to explain a tricky concept, the unexpected way a student found a breakthrough—these golden moments of practical wisdom are exactly what we want to capture and immortalize in the new edition.
The insights we gather, the problems we solve, and the experiences we share during this session will be systematically collected and integrated directly into the new edition of the program. You won’t just be commenting on the Handbook; you will be co-authoring its future.
This session is for everyone who has completed the current Handbook and feels the pull to go further:
Educators integrating Infinite Chess into their teaching.
Players who have mastered the first curriculum and seek the next challenge.
Club leaders and organizers looking for advanced material.
Anyone with a passion for the project and a desire to contribute.
The first Handbook was a gift we gave to you. The second edition is a gift we want to build with you.
Don’t let this moment pass. Join your colleagues, meet the team, ask the hard questions, and share the wisdom you’ve earned. Together, we will ensure that the next edition of the Infinite Chess program is not just a manual, but a reflection of our entire community’s journey.
We’ll see you on 20 June. Let’s brainstorm the infinite, together.
