About the high performance Masterclass
The ‘Masterclass’ training camp is a four-day event organized for those players who don’t always have access to high-level coaching. With the help of this camp, players will get to learn from world-class trainers. It will take place from 25th November to 28th November in Singapore.
Eligibility criteria for the masterclass
1. Applicants must be 20 years old or younger as of December 31, 2023.
2. Applicants should have at least one GM norm.
3. Applicants should be actively involved during the training camp and they should be comfortable with the English language as the sessions will be conducted in English.
Two players will be selected from those who apply via ChessBase India (Google form below).
The two players will get three major benefits:
High-level coaching from world-class trainers:
Those who will attend the ‘Masterclass’ will get training from GM Jacob Aagaard, GM Thomas Luther, and GM Pavel Eljanov. There is no doubt that these three will bring the best to the table and players will take the most benefit from it. But as a bonus, the federation is trying to bring 4th trainer as well. You can keep guessing who could that be!
Participate in the Singapore International Open tournament:
The players will get the opportunity to participate in the Singapore International Open tournament after the training camp.
Financial support:
The Singapore Chess Federation will provide twin-sharing accommodation with breakfast for the selected players. They will also provide daily meal allowances for lunch and dinner. Moreover, the players from the training camp will not be required to pay any entry fees for the tournament as that will also be covered by SCF. Participants will only be responsible for their travel expenses and any costs incurred by accompanying persons. This way, SCF aims to offer substantial financial support to the players.
This initiative is designed to make the players’ trip to Singapore both rewarding and a valuable learning experience!
