We will be holding a one-day Open Fischer-Random Championship later in
the year, thanks to a kind anonymous donor who has put up $1500
towards the prize fund! Watch this space for more information and let us
know if you are keen to take part.
UPDATE - it will be the official New Zealand Fischer-Random
Championship!
In 2023 the following will still apply:
If you have had Covid recently, then we recommend that you do not
return to chess club until your RAT test is negative. Let's keep
everybody safe.
Masks are still required for everybody at the club.
