The NSW Chess Development Program aims to increase player participation, improve the quality of events, assist organisers and arbiters in developing their technical skills, and support the long-term sustainability of chess in the state.
All organisers of chess tournaments are encouraged to apply on behalf of their organisation for support from the NSWCA.
Applications are to be sent to tournaments@nswca.org.au in accordance with the guidelines below.
