Only three weeks to this years Waikato Open. There will be an Open and an under 1700 tournament, each a six round Swiss with a time control of all moves in 90 minutes plus an increment of 30 seconds per move. The Open tournament will be a FIDE rated event.

The event will be subject to the “Rules of the Waikato Chess Open”. The tournament flyer is
