THE OPEN

The “Echiquier Club Montalbanais” is involved in promoting women’s participation in our sport through the “Les Reines de l’Echiquier” program. This commitment is very important to us, which is why we are introducing equal prize money for men and women in our four tournaments at the 400 Coups Chess Festival !
