UPDATE [24 Jan 2023]:
Entry to the 2023 Congress is now open!
We are delighted to announce that the 2023 East Devon Chess Congress will be taking place from Friday 14 April to Sunday 16 April 2023 at Exeter Corn Exchange.
The Corn Exchange stands in the heart of Exeter city centre, close to car parks and stations (Exeter Central is an 8-minute walk; Exeter Bus Station is a 10-minute walk; Exeter St Davids is a 15-minute walk). There are numerous hotels and B&Bs located within a short stroll of the venue, plus several local highlights such as the town’s historic cathedral (5-minute walk) and picturesque quayside (8-minute walk). A map showing the area surrounding Exeter Corn Exchange is provided at the bottom of this page.
The East Devon Chess Congress is a 5-round Swiss tournament with 4-hour play sessions. Three sections are available: the OPEN, the U-1900 MAJOR, and the U-1650 MINOR.
