20th Annual Charity Gonzaga Chess Classic

The 20th annual charity Gonzaga Chess Classic took place in the college grounds from the 17th to the 19th of January. This year's entry was just under 200, including over 20 female players as well as participation from parents. The prize fund was over €3,100! Each section had live digital boards which has been a great addition for the last 2 years.


The turnout of players was excellent including titled players (2 GMs, 1 WGM, 1 IM, 4 FMs, 2 WFMs, 3 CMs) as well as over 20 Gonzaga students. We welcomed players from various federations, including Croatia, Iceland, England, Turkey, Brazil, Urkaine, Sri Lanka, India, Lithuania, Germany, France, China, Poland as well as all corners of Ireland


A great weekend was had by all. As always, all proceeds from the tournament go to charity.
