Preston Chess Congress

Introduction

The Preston Chess Congress has taken place on the last weeked in November for the past 18 years. The congress venue, the Lancashire county council offices, is ideal for chess playing, with comfortable chairs, tables with plenty of space to put your score sheet, and board. Each section takes place in a diffrent room, which means less noise so you can concentrate on the chess. We thank Lancashire County Council for there continued support in allowing is this excellent venue. Another feature of Preston congress is superb refreshments. A large selection of Drinks, home made sandwhiches, cakes and snacks.
