Frankston Chess Club is now closed for 2025, and will be reopening on Wednesday 21st of January 2026.
We wish all our current players, former players, and future players a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year; not to mention a peaceful chess game or more with friends and family...even enemies.

Last night, an impromptu 7 round (5min 3sec) Chess960 (Fischer Random Chess) tournament was played, where 15 players engaged in hard fought battles on the chess board.
Even a cry of "off with her head" was heard.
The winner on the night ended up taking home a 3/4 Family size Aussie pizza as a left over prize.

In short, our last night was a lot of fun with all of us enjoying the pizzas and companionship which our club and the people in it facilitated.

Results for the night and pictures are below:

Congratulations to our top three.
1. James
2. Tim
3. Shannon
