COUNCIL OF THE INSTITUTE
EUROPEAN CHESS ACADEMY
Institut for the development of creative thinking
European Chess Academy, Institute for development of creative thinking Maribor, has been founded by two friends, Slovenian chess grandmasters, Adrian Mikhalchishin and Georg Mohr.
Our idea was simple: to show why chess is the most magnificent game in the world, the best educational tool and such beautiful form of socialization. For you we will organize chess schools, educate teachers and trainers, and organize tournaments. With our partners and co-workers we will offer you even more: charity events, social projects, providing various chess books and keeping alive memories of giants who marked our chess history. We open our doors to anyone, who sees chess in the same light.
Join us; let’s bring chess in every home.
