Dear chess friends,
 
we would like to introduce you chess festivals of Czech Tour series.
In the summer, you can visit Pardubice, where we have extended the deadline for applications without a surcharge for late registration until July 7. This will be followed by Summer Prague and a traditional festival in Olomouc. The highlight of the summer will certainly be the European Youth Championship in Prague.

Below you will also find newly announced festivals for the following autumn and winter. Hradec Kralove and Brno traditionally take place in November, and winter Prague followed by Marienbad in January. Then in March, the Pilsen festival, for the first time with a closed grandmaster tournament.

In February 2025, after 5 years, the World Senior Team Championship in the 50+ and 65+ categories will return to Prague's Olympik Hotel. The detailed proposals will not be published until the beginning of September, but you can already see how the event took place in 2020 at the link below.

The AVE CHESS team wishes you a wonderful summer and holidays at the chess tables.
