Gardiner Chess prides itself on running first class events which cater to a variety of abilities. Whether a child is looking to play in their first tournament outside of school, through to the top players from Australia and overseas we have an event suitable for everyone. If you are not sure whether an event may be suitable for you/your child please let us know and we will be able to assist.
The Gold Coast Open is the marquee event in Queensland and has become established as one of the elite tournaments in Australia. Gardiner Chess’ aim with the Gold Coast Open is to provide an opportunity for players of all levels to compete with Minor, Major and Premier divisions. Our Premier division goal is to help generate GM and IM Norms for aspiring players, and IA or FA Norms for aspiring arbiters.
The organising team led by FA Shaun Curtis would love to welcome you to the Gold Coast to compete in this wonderful event.
The Gardiner Chess Rapid Championships 2021 is two tournaments in one, with an Open Rapid designed for adult players and juniors rated over QJ 1000 (lower rated players can choose to play up), and an under QJ 1000 section for juniors only.
Last time this event was held a number of adult players returned from the wilderness and it was a memorable day for everyone that took part in the event, so don’t miss your opportunity this time around!
