Let's get ready for another fantastic year with WCC! Here’s a sneak peek at our calendar for the next few months.

We’re currently finalizing the details for our highly anticipated ANZAC Rapid tournament. Last year’s event was a tremendous success, with 77 players participating and GM Anton Smirnov taking the top spot.

We received so much positive feedback, and we’d like to thank everyone who supported the event. We’re committed to making this year’s tournament an even greater success!

Lots of action in the Open Classic, with one of our highest turnouts in Classic this year!

Our longest serving WCC member Steve fought hard to obtain a draw after tremendous pressure from Louis. Steve is a very strong player and tough to crack but held to an opposite colour bishop ending. Will we see Louis in the Division I tournament next year?

Congratulations to Jay as our 2024 Classic Champion!

With an impressive score of 6.5/7, Jay showcased exceptional skill and consistency, securing the victory with a full point to spare.

What's even more remarkable is that Jay only recently began playing classical OTB chess, showcasing his hard work, talent and ability to perform under pressure.

We can't wait to see what's next for our new champion!
