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 Summer Cup (75+30, NZCF rated) started on Thursday the 12th February 2026. Email Elliot Grant at wellingtonchessnz@gmail.com to late join.
The long awaited database update is available - the Wellington database has been folded into the larger NZ (Peter Stuart) database with full name compatibility between the two. Get it from the NZCF page.
What's Coming Up
Look out for details on the 2026 Wellington Open over Easter soon, and also an upcoming Chess960 weekend tournament.
