This is one of our most important events for the year!
It attracts ten of the best players in the State as they battle it out over nine grueling weeks of round robin chess. It has the special unique feature, found nowhere else in the world – the Sulik Challenge!
Frank Sulik was an exceptionally talented chess player who won our State Championship nine times (check our Honours Board page to see for yourself)! When he passed, his loved ones and relatives generously donated $10,000 and a trophy. Both the $10,000 and trophy will be given to the the first person to win the SA Chess Champion title 5 times, starting in 2011.
The SA Championship is the qualifying tournament for the $10,000 Sulik prize.
