Please don't park at the Bridge Club, there's plenty of parking on Thorndon Quay (under the motorway) just a short walk away (free in the evening only).
What's Hot Right Now
The Julian Mazur Memorial started on Thursday 23rd July and continues through to the 10th of September. 8 rounds of classical chess (75+30). One Swiss tournament, so no rated groups. Email wellingtonchessnz@gmail.com to late enter, or if you can't make it for any round.
The annual Chess 960 tournament is now complete. Congratulations to Anthony Ker, who won the tournament convincingly with 5.5/6, conceding one draw to Matthew Keith in the last round (actually, I watched the end and it was more Matthew Keith conceded a draw to Anthony).
What's Coming Up
The South Island Champs in Nelson from 30th September to 4th October. Check the NZCF website for details.
