Independent Chess Australia is a tournament and events company based in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. It specialises in organising high-quality open tournaments for a broad range of club and titled players. Today it works closely with local clubs and arbiters to deliver professional, fair and welcoming events.
The company organises the Melbourne International Open, a multi-event festival held at Melbourne Chess Club. The 2026 edition features Masters and Amateurs classical tournaments, plus separate rapid and blitz events.
