Bob Bergmanis Memorial Weekender
A tournament to honour a stalwart of Victorian Chess, Olgerts "Bob" Bergmanis. As mentioned in MCC’s history on the club website, Bob Bergamnis was one of a number of Latvian migrants who were strong players at MCC following World War 2.
Bob was a past MCC Champion and long time honorary auditor. He also played at many other Melbourne chess clubs and was a high level veteran table tennis player into his advanced years. He died late in 2022 at the age of 98.
