The Pedagogical Chess Union (PШС) has led rapid and blitz chess in Russia since 2010, building a reputation for well-run, inclusive events across age groups. Each month, PШС hosts the Sunday Rapid Swiss Opens, the Friday Night Blitz Series, and themed Skittles Room casual play sessions in Moscow and regional centers. Beyond these staples, they organize marquee tournaments like the Rybinsk Rapid Chess Open, the Moscow Rapid Grand Prix, and the St. Petersburg Summer Blitz, attracting players from novices to seasoned masters under FIDE-rated conditions.

Committed to chess education and community growth, PШС also runs year-round training workshops, online masterclasses, and youth development camps. Their certified arbiters and experienced coaches deliver regular seminars on strategy and tournament preparation. Through partnerships with schools, universities, and local clubs, the Union fosters a vibrant chess ecosystem, supporting players at every level from grassroots beginners to aspiring grandmasters.
