If you missed out on the now fully booked ACC Summer Cup, please don’t forget we also run the Auckland Chess Weekends as an extension of our Monday nights. Every month you can get six FIDE- and NZCF-rated games in a normal weekend, so no vacation needs to be planned. These events are also a great training ground for players keen to improve.
You can register online here – the first event will be held on 23-24 March. https://newzealandchess.nz/auckland-chess-weekend-march-2024/
