Find answers to common questions about discovering chess tournaments, contacting organizers, submitting events, and using MyChess.Events.
GENERAL
What is MyChess.Events?
MyChess.Events is an independent global platform for discovering and promoting over-the-board chess tournaments. It helps players find events by country, date, location, format, and other practical criteria, while giving organizers a professional place to present their tournaments.
Is MyChess.Events the official organizer of the listed tournaments?
No. MyChess.Events is an independent tournament discovery and promotion platform. Unless explicitly stated otherwise, each tournament is managed by the organizer named on the tournament page.
Where does the tournament information come from?
Tournament information may come from official regulations, organizer and federation websites, official registration pages, Chess-Results, and information submitted directly by organizers. We review and structure this information to make it easier for players to use.
Can tournament information change?
Yes. Organizers may change dates, schedules, venues, entry fees, prize funds, sections, or registration conditions. Players should always confirm important details with the organizer before making payments or travel arrangements.
FOR PLAYERS
How can I find a chess tournament?
Use the Upcoming Tournaments page, the tournament map, the calendar, or the By Country directory. You can search and filter tournaments by date, country, location, format, and other available criteria.
Can I register for a tournament through MyChess.Events?
Some tournament pages allow players to send a registration request through MyChess.Events. The request is forwarded to the relevant organizer, but MyChess.Events does not normally complete the official tournament registration on the organizer’s behalf.
Does sending a registration request guarantee my place in the tournament?
No. Sending a request through MyChess.Events does not guarantee acceptance, entry, or a place in the tournament. Participation is confirmed only when the organizer accepts your registration and provides any required payment or confirmation instructions.
How do I confirm my registration and pay the entry fee?
Follow the registration and payment instructions published by the organizer. Before sending money, verify the payment details through the official tournament website, registration page, or organizer contact information.
What should I do if the organizer does not reply?
Check the organizer’s official website, email address, telephone number, and social-media channels shown on the tournament or organizer page. MyChess.Events can forward information, but it cannot confirm participation on behalf of an independent organizer.
Are hotel, flight, and transport links part of the official tournament registration?
No. Travel and accommodation links are provided for convenience and may lead to third-party booking services. Any reservation, payment, cancellation, or refund is handled directly by the relevant provider.
How can I report incorrect tournament information?
Use the Contact page or the available update option on the tournament or organizer page. Include the page URL and clearly describe what should be corrected. We review update requests before changing published information.
FOR ORGANIZERS
Why is my tournament or organization listed on MyChess.Events?
MyChess.Events may create tournament and organizer pages using publicly available official information to help players discover events and contact the correct organizer. Organizers may also submit information directly to the platform.
How can I submit a tournament?
Open the Submit a Tournament page and provide the available event details, official links, contact information, and supporting documents. Submitted information is reviewed before publication.
Is it free to submit a tournament?
Yes. Submitting a tournament for standard publication on MyChess.Events is currently free.
Can I update my organizer or tournament page?
Yes. Use the available Request an Update option or contact MyChess.Events with the page URL and the corrected information. Updates are reviewed before publication.
Can I request the removal of a tournament or organizer page?
Yes. A verified organizer or authorized representative may request correction or removal of information relating to their organization or tournament. Contact MyChess.Events from an official organizational email address whenever possible.
Can I submit more than one tournament?
Yes. Organizers may submit multiple tournaments. Related sections or events belonging to the same festival may be presented together or on separate pages depending on their structure.
How are submitted tournaments reviewed?
We check the submitted information for clarity, completeness, consistency, and supporting official sources. We may edit the presentation, request additional information, or delay publication until essential details can be verified.
