Melbourne's Chess Week 27/08/2012-2/09/2012

Winter is a great time to be playing chess, and there is a lot of chess happening around the Melbourne area at the moment. The clubs are all active, junior chess is flourishing, and some of our players are representing Australia at the Olympiad in Turkey starting Monday 27th.

Find links to where you can play chess in Victoria here, and check out the calendar to see if there are upcoming events near you. I will be trying to update these regularly, but please tell me if there are things missing or wrong by email on carl.coffeehousechess@gmail.com.

Thanks

Carl

Features of the site

Check out both the Calendar and the Links. I'll do my best to update these, but I'm only one person so bear with me!

Calendar

You can access this from the tab at the top of the page, and it will eventually give a comprehensive guide to all chess events happening in Melbourne and Victoria. I'll even throw in some Australian and New Zealand tournaments, and some World events that may hold interest for Australians. Sorry if an event isn't on the calendar that you know of or are organising, but just send me the details and I'll put it on.

Links

Again, I'm looking for a comprehensive listing of links to do with chess. I'm starting with clubs and organisations, but I'll add individuals and other chess interest sites that are important to Melbourne and Victoria. If I've missed something, then please feel free to message the link to me and I'll put it on.
