Malta Open
Unfortunately, the tournament has to be canceled again this year. We hope to be back in Bugibba in 2026!
Since 2011, ChessOrg has organized a great tournament here together with SF Clarence Psaila, often with more than 200 participants. The approximately 30 x 6 kilometers large island has been a great destination for many chess enthusiasts in the pleasantly mild November. However, the pandemic led to a longer break in 2020. But we want to dare a new edition soon. Stay tuned!
