It starts as a weekly local night and quickly opens into a bigger competition structure built around progression, qualification and player history.
Play Tuesday Night
Every Tuesday from 6 - 9pm at the Bangalow Hotel, players jump into the weekly tournament night.
Build the Month
Each week feeds into the monthly championship race, giving regulars a clear title to chase.
Qualify for Bigger Events

Track Career Stats
Long-term records give players a proper competitive history beyond just one night or one month.
A serious local competition that still welcomes new players
Bangalow Chess is designed to feel open at the front door and competitive once you step inside. The night is free, the structure is clear, and players can engage casually or go deep into the full ladder of events.
