Overview

In early July 2026, Sorocaba’s CEU das Artes hosted a regional chess cup, bringing together players from the surrounding area for competition. By the end of July, the neighboring city of Guarulhos announced a free chess workshop series for beginners and regular players, held in municipal libraries, alongside cultural celebrations marking the first anniversary of the Centro Municipal de Educação Casarão da Nossa História.

Together, the two events illustrate a growing push by local authorities in São Paulo state to promote chess as a community activity, pairing competitive tournaments with accessible instructional programs and broader cultural programming.
