Chess 960 Event

There is an event hosted by Newport Chess Club on Wednesday the 4th September 2024 at 7pm held at the Pen and Wig, Stow Hill, Newport. It is a Chess 960 event.

Chess 960 is played with randomised positioning of major pieces although they are matched for both white and black. This enables players to benefit from no preparation in play.

Those who wish to enter just turn up. I believe this is a free event i.e. no prizes. Just for fun!
