Donors to the Torbay Chess Congress

We warmly thank everyone who has generously made voluntary donations to the funds for the current Torbay Chess Congress over previous years. These donations help us maintain our guaranteed prize monies and pay for the excellent venue.

Some Past Players' Comments

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!

2019 Foundation

I enjoyed being able to see the next round draw on the internet as soon as it was completed. Please keep this available. Improve the weather 😉

2018 Open

The whole Congress was excellent and very enjoyable. I would be very much less likely to enter if there were three games on the Saturday rather than as it is now.
