The Counties Chess Club is proud to organise the first ever Counties Regional Chess Championship, with open access for all, regardless of age or skill level.
Our vision is to create a fun, inclusive, and family-friendly event that not only attracts locals, but players from across the Counties Region.
The purpose of this annual event is also to motivate and encourage new and existing chess players wherever they may play.
The tournament also provides an opportunity for the wider community to come together, socialize, and engage in a healthy and educational activity. We have players from 6 years old to +80 years old, coming from all walks of life, and it’s wonderful to see how a simple board game can bring people together, create motivation and confidence, and provide a unique tournament experience for both players and visitors.
Attached are pics from another first-time event I co-organised in Kerikeri last year ( Northland Chess Championship) .
Thank you again for your support and hope to see a full venue in November at the Rosehill Intermediate School in Papakura!
Kind Regards,
Ron Lanning
