The Commonwealth Chess Championship is back in Malaysia!

Once again KLCA President Dato' Edmund Santhara has made another bold and strategic move by bringing the Commonwealth Chess Championship back to Malaysia.

And this follows a hugely successful KL Open and fulfills his promise of also having a major international event every other year (the ASEAN+ Youth Teams was organised with the Ministry of Education in Shah Alam in December 2007).

The Commonwealth Championship will be held from 14-21 July 2009 at the Masterskill University College Campus in Ipoh, Malaysia.
