I am doing a talk on Chess, I
wish to ask a few questions.
1. How many points do you need to be a Grand Master?
2. F.I.D.E., where it is based?
3. Are there any other Federation for Chess?
4. How many tournaments a year are there?
5. How young /
old can you be to play in a tournament?
Thank you, A Southall
