Missouri to Host World Chess Masters Tournament in December
December 3rd and 4th in St. Louis the debut installment of the “St. Louis Masters” gets underway at the Chase Park Plaza Hotel with SIXTY of the top chess players from around the world..(!!!)
Much like St. Louis finally being awarded an MLS franchise, an elite level chess tournament has been overdue in the city that is home to the World Chess Hall of Fame.
A 9-round classical Swiss Tournament format will be implemented with a full broadcast included.
The World Chess Hall of Fame is located in the Central West End portion of St. Louis just a few blocks from the Chase Park Plaza where the event will take place.
Grandmasters and International Masters will be playing along with young dynamic players who are striving to build a legacy, plus champions with Missouri connections will be playing too.
Seating for the event is limited, but you’ll be able to watch at uschesschamps.com and on the YouTube channel for the St. Louis Chess Club.
