The playing venue


Important Venue Update! 

Dear Chess Enthusiasts,

Due to overwhelming interest and the significant participation of top international players in the International Youth Chess Festival, the organizing committee has made the decision to change the venue location from Madinah to Jeddah.

This decision aims to facilitate the arrival of attendees and participants from outside the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and provide an optimal environment for chess enthusiasts from around the world.

Ramada by Wyndham Continental Jeddah Hotel
Palestine Street, 21472 Jeddah, Saudi Arabia

Your passion for chess is our inspiration!
