Galway Chess Congress

Galway City

01 Октябрь 2010 - 03 Октябрь 2010

The Galway Chess Congress, which is now an annual event, attracts approximately 200 competitors of all ages who play over the weekend. Competitors come from various parts of Ireland, as well as some from the North of Ireland, and a few from the UK. The prize fund is just under €4,500 and is distributed in four different competitions according to the players ability. The top section usually includes at least one chess grandmaster (GM) which is the highest rank of chess players. However, the majority of entrants will be in the "Minor" section which is for lower-ranked players. Many of the competitors in that section will be youngsters from as young as 5. Most of the youngsters will have family with them, so 200 competitors usually means twice that in terms of visitors to Galway.
