About the academy
Cameroon's school chess infrastructure
A chess club inside the school. One record across wood and screen. A career that can start in Form 1.
What decides every argument
- 01
The club is the atomic unit
Not the individual player. Membership, activity, competition and identity all hang off the club — because a school can sustain a club, and a club can sustain a player.
- 02
One record, two boards
A game on wood in a school hall and a game played on the platform land in the same ledger, the same rating and the same career. Neither counts for less.
- 03
The season is the heartbeat
Everything is scoped to the academic year — divisions, fixtures, tables and honours. A season starts, is played, and is archived into a career.
- 04
Public by default
Standings, fixtures and club pages are public pages. They are the proof a principal reads before signing, and the record a parent checks afterwards.
- 05
Play and learning serve the structure
Training, puzzles and online play exist inside the institution. They are features, never the identity of the platform.
Children on a public site
Most players in the academy are minors. A player's full name and photograph are never public unless a guardian has consented — and where consent is missing, or an age is unknown, the protective default applies automatically.

The intake is open. A signed proposal puts your club on the map, with its crest, its region and its division.
