Gold Coast Open Chess Championships,

About the event

The Gold Coast Open Chess Tournament is Queenslands most prestigious open event. This chess tournament has been running for nearly 20 years with a great field of players of all ages and abilities. 

In 2016 the Gold Coast Open had a field of 150 players including:
1x Grandmaster
3x International Masters
1x Womens International Masters
2x Fide Masters 
1x Womens Fide Master

and many more.....

Players travel from interstate and in some cases internationally to be apart of such a prestigeous chess tournament.

Why should you sponsor?

Chess tournaments generally aim to a wide range of people from all walks of life including children. Any sponsor who agrees to be apart of this event will have full naming rights as well as have their logos and banners on every aspect of the tournament including online broadcasts. 

As chess is somewhat of a niche market, there are very few who have tapped into this diverse audience of people. Sponsoring this event would allow Gardiner Chess to put on arguably the best chess tournament in Australia and this would be well publicized with sponsors details for many years to come. 

 

Shaun Curtis

My name is Shaun Curtis, I am a chess coach on the Gold Coast in many local schools. I have commited myself to improving chess for kids throughout South East Queensland. Educating them and providing problem solving skills, risk calculation and demonstrating consequences for decisions the lessons learnt from chess can be related to many situations throughout life and I believe this is much needed in todays society. I organize many chess tournaments for both adults and juniors throughout Queensland and would love to be assisted in taking chess tournaments in Queensland to the next level and even become internationally competitive.
