In 2020, due to covid-19, all chess events

To make chess events viable during 2020, we have successfully moved all CHESS EVENTS ONLINE.
The Tornelo platform has been enhanced to become a tournament management software that supports Online Chess Tournaments as an interactive, arbiter-led experience that to the greatest extent possible replicates the normal face-to-face tournament environment.
It's safe, fully controlled and supervised.
Players can represent their school and experience genuine social interaction with like minded peers.

How do Online Events work?
- Zone events are nominally named for a Geographic Location - that way you're more likely to bump into people you know (or avoid them!)
- However, Any school may play in any Zone Event
- The winning team from each event Qualifies for their STATE FINALS.
- State Finals are qualification only events and restricted by state.
- Our events are UNIQUE in that they are NOT anonymous.
ALL ONLINE ZONE EVENTS
- Pick either morning (9.15am - 11.45am AEST) or afternoon (12.30-3pm AEST) events on a school day (note the local timezone if you are planning to play interstate matches)
- Teams have no minimum or maximum size to participate; however, require minimum of 4 players to win an event
- Run in Year Level (age) divisions
- Are fully supervised, safe and secure
- Registration fee of $12 per student
Please download and share this flyer with your parents. Student can register directly online for these events. No teacher participation is required - but you are of course welcome to come and spectate!
Below you'll find some images you can use to share with students and drum up some excitement! We recommend directing students to enrol in a specific event, on a specific date. |

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!!! |
Player Pathway

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 | ||
