Join Chess Unlimited Club’s tournament for a full day of playing the game of kings
A chess tournament to be held on Saturday is open to all players - whether they are part of a school team, a community chess group or simply love this tactical game.
Held under the auspices of Ehlanzeni Chess and hosted by Chess Unlimited Club, it takes place at Laerskool Nelspruit. The tournament starts at 07:45 but players need to arrive earlier as the registration period is from 06:45 to 07:15.
The tournament is Chess SA (Chessa) rated and the format is Swiss 60/60 with three second increments. Five games are played, so expect a full day of chess.

Players must have registered with Chessa, which costs R100 for the year for juniors and R200 for seniors. This registration fee entitles players to compete in a number of tournaments held in the area throughout the year.
Once the once-off Chessa fee is paid, players need only pay R100 for juniors and R200 for seniors per tournament entered.
