YEREVAN AJAPNYAK CHESS SCHOOL Community Non-Profit Organization (CNPO)

Yerevan Ajapnyak Chess School is a community non-profit organization teaching chess to children at H. Beknazaryan 5 in Yerevan. It has operated since January 2014.

Group lessons run six days a week, Monday through Saturday, with each group meeting three days weekly, free of charge. The school takes on 5-7 year old beginners with no prior experience, taught from their first moves, and 8-9 year olds who already hold at least category IV, level I in chess rankings. Enrollment requires a copy of the child's birth certificate, two 3x4 photos, and proof of chess category where applicable.

The coaching staff includes Alexander Ghazaryan, Bagrat Grigoryan, Karen Poghosyan, and Samvel Mkrtchyan.

The school is in Yerevan's Ajapnyak district, at H. Beknazaryan 5, roughly 5 km northwest of central Yerevan (straight-line).
