Welsh Chess Championships 2017

The organisers  wish to sincerely thank all those who played in this year’s event and also all who helped in the organisation.

 

The event was once again held at the Radisson Park Inn Hotel, Cardiff North and the organisers would like to take this oppurtunity to thank the staff there for their help and support.
