Almaty World Cadet Chess Championship

Are you travelling to the Almaty WCCC in September 2025? In this video, you can find all about the chess event, Almaty and Kazakhstan to help you prepare. Link to the event is https://worldcadets2025.fide.com I have been to Almaty in April, and it is great to be back – I am coming to the event also. How safe is Almaty? As safe as most places in Europe. Safety index from CEO World and from Numbeo place Almaty’s safety to a very similar place as LA, Phoenix, Dublin or London. My personal experience is the same, and I plan to do a lot of walking around. 00:00 Going to World Cadet Chess Championship 01:17 Safety First 03:24 Crash Course on Kazakhstan 05:17 Weather & Clothing 07:22 Moving, payment, roaming 09:24 Hotels, distances, transfers 12:01 How will your day look like? 14:09 What to see and do in Almaty? 16:53 See you there! https://ceoworld.biz/2025/05/12/ranke... https://www.numbeo.com/quality-of-lif... Kazakhstan is the 9th largest country in the world; its size is equal to the size of Western Europe. It is the largest landlocked country in the world. But only 20 million people live there. English language works in most places, especially airport and hotels. Kazakhstan is a secular state despite many religions. September is a perfect month to visit Almaty. Temperatures should be pleasant for most people and are historically mostly around 15 to 20 degrees Celsius, according to the data from World Meteorological Organisation https://worldweather.wmo.int/en/city.... And there is usually very little rain in September, too. Cards are accepted in large restaurants, hotels and airports. But cash is still king everywhere else, get local currency, Kazakhstani Tenge. It is without commission on most ATMs, as I witnessed myself last time. Yandex Go is the taxi app in Almaty and you can either install it or ask locals to get one for you. Cash works best even when ordering it via app. Roaming can be expensive, and I relied on Wi-Fi. If you need to stay connected, esim or local sim work well. Transfers from and to Almaty airport are arranged by the organizer and are free of charge, assuming you informed the organizer when you are coming, and those dates are the same as everyone else’s – the official arrival and departure days. Transfers you will easily find in the Arrivals area of the Almaty airport. There will also be daily bus transfers from hotels to the venue, Baluan Sholaq Arena, and back. Or you can choose to walk, if it works for you. With games at 3pm, you might have some time to visit Almaty. And you absolutely should – not many people are around this part of the world very often. I share a few recommendations what to do and see, and many things you can fit in the morning before the game. The organizer is planning something for the rest day, but there are so many great places to see, including spectacular mountains and old centre. See you in Almaty, looking forward to it!
