MCF and KLCA will once again organize and host a Commonwealth chess event with the Commonwealth Schools Chess Championship to be held from 4th of October to the 12th of October 2026
The 9-day event is staged for the first time since the idea was mooted by the Commonwealth President during his visit to Malaysia almost a year ago.
The event is expected to draw more than 300 players from all over Commonwealth Nations around the world, and Malaysian junior players should take the opportunity of playing on an international stage, as it provides a more affordable option compared to participating abroad.
MCF offers discounts to players who sign up before 15th August 2026, after which the normal rate will take effect. The closing date is set on the 4th of September 2026, and while MCF can opt to accept late entries with additional fees as penalties, it will depend on space and seat availability. From 18th September onwards, no further entries will be entertained.
Entries are open for Open/Boys and Girls events for the following age groups: Under 19, Under 17, Under 15, Under 13, Under 11, Under 9, and Under 7. Winners from the recently concluded Scholastic event will be contacted to confirm if they are taking their official slots to the event.
