For Those Who
Battle On

Are you rated under 2000 FIDE? Doomed to watch from the trenches while the Premier players fight? Not anymore, soldier.

"At the going down of the sun, we shall remember the moves."

The Mission

Every year, brave chess warriors under 2000 FIDE find themselves turned away from the Churchie International Premier, left to languish in the no-man's-land of the reserve sections.

No longer. The Anzac Challenge is your beachhead. A gruelling, mateship-forging tournament designed to separate the wheat from the chaff, the kings from the pawns.

"This is not for the faint-hearted. This is for those who can endure 3+2, 10+5, and 60+10 in a relentless cycle of mental warfare."

The spoils? Entry into the Churchie International Premier and cold hard cash.

Completely UNRATED

Because some battles are about honour, not ELO points.

The Campaign

Three cycles. Three theatres of war. No surrender.

TRENCH WARFARE

TACTICAL MANEUVER

WAR OF ATTRITION
