The Northwest Chess organization is excited to announce the upcoming Northwest Chess Online Open, a special fundraising tournament designed to support the publication. This six-round event will be hosted on chess.com from May 9-10, and is dedicated to the memory of Mike Neeley, a respected former editor of Northwest Chess.
Participants will have the opportunity to compete for valuable prizes, including subscriptions or extensions to Northwest Chess magazine. This tournament marks a significant milestone as it is the inaugural NWC Open to be held entirely online, making it a truly historic occasion.
Furthermore, due to the unfortunate cancellation of the initial event earlier this year amidst global COVID-19 concerns, this online edition represents the only instance where the Northwest Chess Open has been organized twice within the same calendar year. We invite you to join this unique event, contribute to the future of Northwest Chess, and become a part of its unfolding history.
