The Northland Chess Championship took place in Kerikeri on Saturday 12th November 2022 at the Turner Centre. We had 153 registered with 127 able to attend a full day of chess tournament.
Below you will find all relevant information, including the briefing pack, players registration, the final results and official tournament photos.
Note; Tie-break system scores were applied to determine the final winners. Only players who are residents in Northland qualified for trophies and titles. All players who entered qualified for the prize money.
Thank you to all the amazing volunteers helping out and the generous support from our sponsors. We are planning to be back next year! If you would like to get involved with either organising or be a sponsor, do reach out to us!
