Federation Area
In accordance with FIDE Statute 2.4, National Federations are requested to accomplish and submit the online Annual Questionnaire to FIDE. It is a useful source for many reasons, including marketing. We need to present the great number of chess players, members and non-members, and track federations in membership of National Olympic Committees in order to achieve a higher profile for chess.
This is particularly relevant with the coming Asian Games this December in Doha, Qatar.
