Home of the 2011 Australian Open Chess Championships
Following our very successful hosting of the 2010 Australian Chess Championships at
norths in January this year, we are proud that the Australian Chess Federation has accepted our bid to host the 2011 Australian Open Chess Championships at the club in January next year.
Hosting these two premier Australian chess championships in successive years is a giant milestone in
norths chess club's illustrious 102 years-old life (the longest of any chess club in New South Wales), and is a tribute to the hard work of its Committee members and the loyal and generous support of
norths in providing its superlative venue free of cost.
The 2010 Championship events attracted a couple of hundred entrants from all over Australia and overseas, including most of Australia’s strongest players, resulting in a daily influx of several hundred players and spectators to
norths during the first half of January and a corresponding financial boost to the leagues club and local businesses.
The 2011 Open will comprise 4 events: an 11 round Open Championship, an 11 round under-1600 rated Minor, a 7 round under-1800 rated Norths Classic, and an Australian Lightning Championship, and is certain to be another great success.
