Wells Chess Congress Event 7th-9th March 2025

Wells Congress was a great success again this year with 128 players, an increase of 20 on last year. This accommodated 4 sections. For the results click here:

There were some great performances in all the sections and juniors playing especially well across the board. We look forward to our Rapidplay in the autumn and another Weekend Congress in March 2026!
