( North Tennessee Winter Open )
| In January 2000 the Clarksville Chess Club organized and
hosted a regional tournament called the North Tennessee Regional Open.
The tournament was a big success its first year and the participants
loved the breakdown of the playing sections; the tournament had six
sections with each section named after a Chess piece. Kings section
for Experts and above; Queens for Class A, Rooks for class B, etc. The tournament was so enthusiastically received that the Tennessee Chess Association (TCA) agreed to take over the tournament and host it as an annual event, guaranteeing the prize fund. The TCA changed the name of the tournament to the North Tennessee Winter Open (NTWO). It is held on the weekend of the Martin Luther King Memorial holiday, which is the third Monday in January. The tournament is held at the Riverview Inn, 50 College Street, Clarksville, Tennessee 37040. |
