The International Chess Federation (FIDE) has announced an initiative for its ChessMom project. The initiative aims to support chess players who are mothers of infants under one year of age for the upcoming 45th Chess Olympiad in Hungary. The Olympiad is scheduled to take place in Budapest from September 10 to 23.
FIDE will recognize the child and the accompanying caregiver as integral parts of the National Official Delegation. Specifically, all expenses will be covered for ten mothers travelling with their infants including those of their accompanying caregivers.
