Brazilian Chess Confederation

The Brazilian Chess Confederation (Portuguese: Confederação Brasileira de Xadrez) is the national governing body for chess in Brazil and a member of the International Chess Federation (usually referred to as FIDE).

The organization was founded on November 11, 1924 as the Federação Brasileira de Xadrez (Brazilian Chess Federation)[1] and affiliated with FIDE in 1935.[2] It is based in Santa Maria de Jetibá, Espírito Santo.[3] Its president is Darcy Lima, who took office in 2013.[4][5] It has 19 constituent clubs and 30,000 members.[2]

Chess in Brazil is more popular in the South and Southeast than in the Northeast, and the confederation and its member associations have been affected by competition from online chess.[6]
