Europe via Toowoomba

A reason to visit Toowoomba. Play some chess. That and the fancy first prize!

The festival includes three events - the Darling Downs Open, Darling Downs Amateur and Toowoomba Coffee House Mystery Gambits.

The Darling Downs Open is the lead event of the Toowoomba Chess Festival, giving the local stars and top juniors a chance to fight it out through seven rounds with visiting experts and international masters over the four days.

First prize is $600 and a one week stay on Germany's Mosel River provided by one of the sponsors, My Europe Base.

Nice!
