Chess and strategy competitions for students under 18
Scholastic chess is the most age-stratified competition system that exists: separate national championships by grade, by age, and by rating section, so a beginner is never paired against a master. Entry costs are modest, the rating system gives you objective feedback after every event, and the study material is effectively unlimited.
