Hello folks...There will be no chess played this Tuesday evening. The Mackay Open tournament has worn me out and the Club will be taking a rest for one week.

Next meet will be 25 August which is the week before the next Gardiner Inter-school tournament which is Monday 31 August at MCC primary campus.

Thankyou for the weekend. I will post a longer, more detailed article about the Mackay Open at a later date. Cheers

Hello Chess Warriors...

The 2026 Mackay Open chess tournament commences Saturday morning at the CQ Uni Mackay Campus, Building 3, Ground floor. Comprising 6 rounds of chess over 15th/16th August.

A big thankyou to our tournament Sponsors for supporting, this Event. Local businesses CMR Recycling and NurseCare Connect AND our latest Sponsor Create Piping, Civil & Mining. Thankyou Ron, Paul and Lachlan.

Another big thankyou to our Arbiter, Mr Michael Darcy, who came on board relatively late after the previous Arbiter was unable to attend.

There are currently 23 Entrants all striving to share in the $5000 prize purse. So if you can play chess, operate a chess clock and complete a score sheet AND have nothing planned for this weekend, consider entering the 2026 Mackay Open chess tournament. Cheers.
