Brazilian Chess Confederation

The Brazilian Chess Confederation (Portuguese: Confederação Brasileira de Xadrez) is the national governing body for chess in Brazil and a member of the International Chess Federation (usually referred to as FIDE).

The organization was founded on November 11, 1924 as the Federação Brasileira de Xadrez (Brazilian Chess Federation) and affiliated with FIDE in 1935. It is based in Santa Maria de Jetibá, Espírito Santo. Its president is Darcy Lima, who took office in 2013. It has 19 constituent clubs and 30,000 members.

Chess in Brazil is more popular in the South and Southeast than in the Northeast, and the confederation and its member associations have been affected by competition from online chess.
