A specialized chess classroom operates within the College of Physical Culture at the University of Las Tunas. This space is intended to bring together and train children and young people who are enthusiasts of the "science game."

Las Tunas, Cuba.- Children under 14 years old from local primary and secondary schools pass through this classroom. They make up the Las Tunas youth squad, preparing for national tournaments and, above all, the National School Games.

The main goal is to ensure the young athletes' comprehensive development. To this end, the facility is equipped with the necessary resources and staffed by coaches and instructors from the College itself, allowing for systematic training.

Each talented player is assigned a coach, ensuring personalized attention. From Monday to Friday, the athletes can play against one another or attend lectures organized by their coaches.

The training of Las Tunas' chess players will enable them to interact digitally with talented peers in other countries. Despite the country's complex situation, the National School Games remain a key event.

Besides top-tier events, these young players can achieve the title of chess master as early as age 12, compete in the Cuban championship, or represent the country at an Olympiad.

This initiative was the first of its kind in eastern Cuba, drawing on similar experiences from other provinces. It fosters the integration of a strong team that proudly represents both Las Tunas and Cuba.
