This year’s “Tokyo Festival” is brand-new!

We have prepared 3 different plans for Tokyo Chess Festival 2023, which is going to be held on October 14th (Sat) and October 15th (Sun).

The 3 options are,

 

  1. Classical Weekend
  2. Standard Saturday
  3. Rapid Sunday

 

2 and 3 are one-day tournaments. They are suited for players who can only participate in one of the weekend days. It is also good for players who are joining a tournament for the first time!

If you want to participate for both days, you can either participate in 1, the Classical Weekend two-day tournament, or join both 2 and 3, in which case you can enjoy different time controls.

Please check the descriptions in the regulations to decide which tournament to participate!
