Matena Business School has joined forces with MEDIACRAT Studio to organize the International Chess Fest Armenia.

Viswanathan Anand, five-time World Chess Champion, Judit Polgár, the greatest female chess player of all time—along with other legendary guests—are expected to visit Armenia for the inaugural event, held under the patronage of Grandmaster Levon Aronian. Chess Fest Armenia will take place in October 2026.

In Yerevan—the capital of the only nation in the world where chess is a mandatory school subject, a unique small nation yet a true giant in chess and a multiple Chess Olympiad winner—we will, through two days of exhibition games, interactive art installations, and storytelling sessions, highlight, promote, and inspire creativity, strategic thinking, and the power of community—values that Matena proudly stands for.
