  • Commemorating legendary chess tournaments: ChessDom has got a nice update on chess tournaments to be played in late 2011 and early 2012 commemorating the legendary chess tournaments organised in San Sebastian in 1911 and 1912. For now, the details state that the prize fund is going to be 100.000 €, system will be the knockout system creating one more parallel tournament for the losers of the first round and an International Open. Each player will play each round 2 simultaneous games, one with white and the other with black. Standby for more updates. 


  • 12th Bangkok Chess Club Open 2012: The event will be held from April 13-19 in Bangkok, Thailand. The chess tournament will be held in a 5-star Dusit Thani Bangkok Hotel. The tournament is expected to be the biggest and strongest ever held in Thailand. The winner of the 2011 Open was GM Jan Gustafsson. Access the official website at this link.
