Before You Play
One Month Of Training
Registration doesn't just buy you a seat at the board. Every registered player gets a month of training with instruction before the championship begins.
Open To Every Level
Beginners and rated players train alike. You told us your level at registration, and nobody is turned away for being new.
Championship Ready
The month is there so you reach the first round prepared, rather than finding your feet mid-tournament.
Exact training dates, timings and the platform are confirmed with the championship information sent after registration closes. Registered players are contacted directly — nothing further is needed from you in the meantime.
Slots are limited — register before August ends
