2026 World Chess Festival - Malvern
April 3-5, 2026
Desmond Malvern Hotel
One Liberty Blvd
Malvern, PA 19355
(610) 296-9800

There are tournaments for ALL experience/skill levels.
For example: A young player has learned how to move the pieces but has no tournament experience. Or, an adult who wants to play USCF rated chess.

Our solutions: The youth player can play in the Non-Rated/Capture the King tournaments on Friday and Saturday (Beginner Tournaments) and then join our Under 300 USCF rated scholastic on Sunday for their first USCF tournament. For the adult, that person can join our Friday Adult Swiss as well as our Friday Night Adult Blitz tournament.
