Sarapu Cup Chess Tournament

Chess Power is excited to announce the Sarapu Cup Chess Tournament, a fantastic event for young players looking to test their skills on the board. The tournament takes place on the FIRST or SECOND SUNDAY of each month at the Eden Rugby Football Club in Central Auckland from 1pm to 5:30pm.

Players can choose to compete in either the Pawns or Bishops Divisions, both featuring two 6 round Swiss tournaments with a time control of 15 minutes per player. For those looking for a bit more challenge, there's also the Kings Division, offering a 7-round all-play-all Round Robin tournament with a time control of 15 minutes + 5 seconds/move per player.

All divisions will be Tornelo-rated and possibly NZCF-rated, making it a great opportunity for players to gain valuable experience and recognition. The Pawns Division is ideal for beginners with a rating below 600 points, while the Bishops Division is perfect for players with a rating between 600 and 1199 points. The Kings Division is reserved for those with a rating of 1000 points or more.

Make sure to arrive by 12:30pm for player check-in, as the tournament kicks off promptly at 1:15pm. Don't miss out on the chance to compete in the Sarapu Cup Chess Tournament and showcase your chess skills!
