I was contacted recently by GM Klaric, the tournament director of the International Youth Chess Festival Adriatic 2016, to be held in Split, Croatia, from 24 to 27 August. He asked me if I could share the information about the tournament on my blog.

The youth tournament is organised by the Kasparov Chess Foundation Adriatic and you can find all the details at the official page. There will be rapid and blitz tournaments and the age categories are U10, U12, U16 and U20. The Chess Festival promotes the Chess In Schools Project, which in my opinion is a very important project for every country.

I am happy to share this information of what seems to be a well-organised event and I hope it is a great success with many participants from all over the world.
