Hastings District Junior Chess TournamentThis is an annual event where young chess players can test their skills against others of a similar age. The tournament is played in a ‘Swiss Draw' style meaning youngsters play through five rounds without knockout. Byes and children from the same school playing each other may occur (often caused by late entries) however organisers will make every attempt to avoid this happening. The tournament is open to all youngsters who enjoy playing chess. Hours Cost Information brochure (PDF 30kB) | Register online |
