The chess player
What would you say
to becoming part
of his story ?
A nine-year-old boy.
His thing ? Chess
My name is Ilios.
It means « sun » in Greek.
My thing is chess.
When I wake up in the morning, I play
and when I get home from school, I study and I play.
Even at night, I dream about chess !
Today, I'm 9 years old and I've won several national titles.
My next steps : the European Championships.
My thing is chess.
And I want to become world champion.

Fewer than 0.5 % of rated players ever earn the title of International Grandmaster. They all share one thing in common : the same relentless work ethic, and countless hours of training, analysis and tournaments. They all share the same passion — some would say obsession — for the king of games…
The Project
Supporting Ilios — already two-time Swiss champion — on a demanding, high-level training path, taking into account everything this pursuit involves : training, competitions, travel, athletic and mental coaching, and personal support.
