Next day for club chess is Sunday 19 January at Whangarei’s central library 10am-12 (no meeting on January 5th). As always, play is free and we provide chess sets and clocks.
Best wishes to Fred, Noah and Jasper who are bravely heading down to the big league, NZ Chess’s national championship (Congress) in Auckland in January! Fred will be playing in the longer ‘classic’ tournament (2 hours each per game), Noah and Jasper the ‘rapid’ time limit of 25 minutes. You can follow games (when they are live only) from the NZ Championship here, I think: https://www.chess.com/events/2025
Over the summer break Tina will again be organising tournaments for school players at Mangawhai, Tuesday January 14 and 21; details are on her Facebook page:
