Your first story
If you already attend a major chess event, take your phone to the next round. We’re especially interested in interviews with women chess players and with Israeli competitors playing abroad. After a decisive game, invite the player to set up the position again and show us the move they nearly played. That conversation can be your first exclusive for TsameretMedia.
Humour has a place in our coverage, too. Ask a player to tell a funny story that really happened at the tournament. Or write and film a short sketch with friends: what goes through a player’s mind when there are only ten seconds on the clock? Introduce it as a sketch so viewers can enjoy the joke.
You choose which events to cover and send your work to the editorial team remotely. The role is voluntary and unpaid, with a flexible schedule.
Chess and maths in hostels
Alongside our tournament coverage, we welcome ideas for chess and maths sessions with residents of Jewish and other hostels. If you help run a session and would like to work with us, tell us about it.
Interview languages
Record the interview in a language your guest feels comfortable speaking. You can choose English, Hebrew, French, German, Ukrainian or Russian. Send a short summary in English along with the recording.
