The Torbay Chess Congress

Welcome to the website of the annual Torbay Chess Congress.

Covid-19 Update

With deep regret the 2021 Congress has been cancelled because of the ongoing implications of the Covid-19 pandemic.

On a positive note, we are planning to hold the 2022 Congress on Armistice weekend (11^th - 13^th November) at the Toorak Hotel, Torquay. We hope to start accepting entries for the 2022 Congress around the middle of 2022.

Some Past Players' Comments

Well done again for another very pleasant and well run Congress. I have played at the Torbay on and off over many years and have always found it to be one of the very best events to play in. I also thought that the pairings print outs were a great improvement over the old card system. Small touches like the lunch deals also show that you are doing everything you can to make the event easy and enjoyable to participate in. Well done to all your team, you really have a good formula for success!

It was an excellent event. Could all players be reminded (with a sign too) not to talk loudly just outside the playing area but to go into the analysis room to discuss their games? It's easy to forget!
