Why it exists
Most good chess material is in English, and chess news in Egypt is scattered across posts and chats. Chessawy puts it in one place, written for Arabic readers first.
What is here now
A calendar of chess tournaments in Egypt, with dates, venues, time controls, fees and registration links. It is the first section of the site.
What is coming
Lessons and articles in Arabic where every move opens on the board, a directory of coaches in Egypt, and courses. You can follow progress on the home page.
Who runs it
Chessawy is built and run by one person in Egypt, with help from friends in the chess community. It has no investors and no ads.
