Current COVID-19 guidelines are that mask wearing at any chess event, including chess clubs is now optional. However, we encourage players to do a lateral flow test before attending tournaments. Clubs and organisers are at liberty to enforce stricter rules at their discretion. As the Welsh Government (WG) announces changes to regulations it remains the case that clubs and organisers must continue to take responsibility for any events they put on, with suitable risk assessments, mitigation arrangements and precautions in place. This page summarises some of the key WG guidance points and recommendations which are relevant for chess events and should be considered by clubs and organisers as we move forward. Updates (7th September 2021) are shown in blue. Further updates will be made as necessary when regulations/guidance change Relevant guidance for current regulations in place can be found on the main WG COVID-19 web pages here: This document will be updated following further review and input.
