Youth Chess Tournament

Started in 2004 was the Bridgend County Borough Individual Chess Championship, which is sponsored by the Lions Club of Bridgend and run as a joint venture with Bridgend Chess Club. The first tournament was held in November 2004 and is now established as an annual event.

In 2008 the competition was re-named the Bridgend Junior Rapidplay competition with two trophies on offer - The Clive Rickard Trophy for ages 16 and under and The John Basini Cup for ages 12 and under.

The tournament is very well organised by the Bridgend Chess Club with all competitors playing 5 games of up to 50 minutes duration. Every effort is made to place together players of the same or similar expertise so that all players enjoy a well balanced match.

Any schools, chess clubs, youth clubs or individuals who wish to have further details should use our contact page and we will be pleased to provide all the information you will need.
