There were some signs that this year the Malaysian Chess Festival could be called off. Luckily for chess players and lovers, DAT Chess Centre has announced this festival will continue for 2016. The bad news is that the festival dates clash with the 2016 Baku Chess Olympiad in Azerbaizan making it impossible for those going to the biggest event in chess to take part in the Chess Festival.
The Festival starts on the 9th September till 19th September with events catering to the young and old. They are the Malaysian Open, Astro Merdeka Team, IGB Seniors ,Malaysia Chess Challenge, Svensen Age Group and Malaysia Day Individual Rapid. This year a new event joins the line-up, the Datin Yee Wai Fong Rapid Team Championship. This new event is a rapid team tournament for Under-12 players only.
