TESTIMONIALS
This chess tournament was an awesome opportunity to make new friends and improve our chess. |
Very well organized and well run event. Heaps of fun - great supportive Chess Kids staff. Great environment to learn and meet other great chess kids. |
The kids goal last year was to get into the State Finals ... and we were thrilled that two teams made it!!! Although they did not do so well in the finals they had a ball and the experience was invaluable!!! |

What is a rating?
A rating is a number which indicates, based on your past performance, how good you are at chess. The higher the number the better you are. The highest rated player in the world is Magnus Carlsen with a rating of 2835. The highest rating ever was Garry Kasparov reaching 2849 in July 2000. The best players in the world have ratings as follows: World Champion 2800 GrandMaster 2500 International Master 2400 National Master 2300 For juniors in Australia (ranked #32nd best chess-playing country in the world at the last Olympiad) the easy way to gauge if you are on track to becoming a Champion is to take your age and multiply by 100. Eg. Age 9, good target to have a rating in the 900’s |
