As has been announced elsewhere, a second Renfrew Chess Congress of the season will take place 4th-6th of May.
Tournaments
Renfrew Congress Championship
A new addition for players graded 1900 and above by Chess Scotland with an additional prize for a perfect 5 out of 5 score. This bonus starts off at £100 and if it is not won this time around it will rollover to the next congress in our series, Largs. The bonus has the potential to add up to £500 on top of our first prizes for the premier section at our congresses!

A chance for some Fide rated games for those graded under 2000 by Fide.
U1700
Open to all players rated under 1700 by Chess Scotland.
