2013 Andrew Saint & Hannibal Swartz Memorial

This year the MCC Christmas Swiss will be a memorial to Andrew Saint and Hannibal Swartz. The event will have the same format the Christmas Swiss usually has, and the entry fee has been dropped by $5 for all participants. The Melbourne Chess Club would like to thank Chess Victoria for its support of this event, as well as IM Igor Goldenberg, FM Michael Baron, FM Bill Jordan and Anthony Hain for offering coaching prizes. On Sunday we'll be running a free BBQ for most of the day, with our sincere thanks going out to Kevin Chew (Jason's Father) for generously giving his time and money to make this happen!!

We'd also like to remind players of The Andrew Saint Memorial being held on Boxing Day in Adelaide. It promises to be a unique event and we hope to see many of you in Adelaide too.

How to enter

You can enter online by completing our Online Tournament Entry. No need to pay now, either on the day in cash or before the tournament with electronic transfer.

You can also call Paul Cavezza on 0449 009 320.

It is much better to enter early because your entry will encourage others to enter and the bigger the tournament the more prizes we can offer. It is ok if you decide later to withdraw, but please let us know.

If the online entry form does not work for you then please let us know on Chess Chat, Facebook, send an email to the Club President, tournament organiser, or arbiter or email to the club email address melbchessclub@gmail.com.

Make sure your name appears on the list below within a couple of days.

If you decide you want to do the competition within 24 hours of the first round, then please call either the organiser or arbiter, or turn up half an hour before the tournament starts.

Are you coming from interstate?

Ask us about billeting. Some of our club members are willing to host interstate families for the weekend.
