The e2e4 Torquay Congress will take place on 8th-10th February 2013 at The Imperial Hotel, Park Hill Road, Torquay, Devon, TQ1 2DG.
Our first event in picturesque Torquay sees the The Imperial Hotel Torquay play host to us. An exclusive cliff top hotel, 4 star The Imperial is the perfect venue for an e2e4 Chess event. Overlooking the bay, this magnificent Victorian hotel offers stunning views across the Torbay coastline, and is ideally located for exploring the English Riviera.
The Imperial has great facilities including Beauty Rooms, Gym, Swimming Pool and Kid’s Club so there is something for everyone.
We have 3 sections of chess too, with the Open and Major being FIDE rated. A great event in preparation for the 100th British Championships in Torquay later in 2013!
