Our promises

From the moment you register to the awards ceremony, AlphaChess will ensure that every aspect of the tournament is organized with the utmost care and attention to detail by listening to our players, creating a seamless and enjoyable event for players of all skill levels.

We believe that chess is a universal language, and our tournaments will reflect that diversity. We are committed to creating inclusive events that welcome players from all backgrounds, ages, and skill levels. Our tournament schedule will feature a variety of formats, catering to the unique needs and preferences of our participants, ensuring that everyone can find their place on the chessboard.

AlphaChess = innovation. We created the UK's first FIDE Triathlon (combining all three speeds), we run Duality (rapid + blitz) and Fusion (rapid + Freestyle) events and we offer free FIDE rapid games at all our Classical events.

We will uphold the highest standards of fairness and impartiality, with strict adherence to the FIDE laws of chess. Our experienced team of arbiters and tournament directors will ensure a level playing field for all participants, fostering a spirit of healthy competition and sportsmanship.
