POHLEMUS DARLING TOURNAMENT POSTPONED TO MARCH 11TH

2/23/2023

Please note that the Pohlemus Darling Memorial Rapid Tournament which was scheduled for Saturday February 25th was postponed. It will now be held on Saturday March 11th, 2023.

After realizing that the renovations to the venue where this tournament was planned to be held would not be completed in time, BCF had to seek a substitute venue. Failure to secure a suitable and available venue required a change in the date.

To those who have already registered, there's no need to register again. If you have not registered yet, online registration is open and will close on March 11th at 9:00 AM.

We have published the Bahamas Chess Federation Calendar of Events for 2023!

This calendar only list local events that are promoted and managed by BCF. Other events like international tournaments and local tournaments managed by schools, clubs, and individuals, may be added later. Each event must first be sanctioned by BCF.

The Bahamas National Chess Championship is the first noticeable change from previous years. This change is due to changes made to BCF Constitution which changed the Annual General Meeting to November. The Nationals will now be held every January.

Going forward BCF plans to consistently hold the Scholastic Individual Championship and the Scholastic Team Championship in March. It is hoped that these two events will drive the Chess In Schools and Junior Chess Programs. It is intended for these to become the main events towards determining the best players and teams in schools.
A female only tournament was add in the month of May. We intend to use this tournament to attract and engage more female players.

The only event listed that's not a tournament is the Chess X Festival. This annual event will help BCF promote, develop chess and also become a major fundraiser.

2023 promises to be a great year for the development of chess in the Bahamas.
