outstanding New Zealand

<span style="font-size: small;">For
the first time in 71 years, the Manawatu Knights Chess Club will be
hosting the 125th chess congress, in Palmerston North. This event is to
be held from <span class="gmail-m_6124844919882147426gmail-aBn"><span class="gmail-m_6124844919882147426gmail-aQJ">January 1st</span></span> till <span class="gmail-m_6124844919882147426gmail-aBn"><span class="gmail-m_6124844919882147426gmail-aQJ">January 12th</span></span> at
the Millennium Copthorne Hotel. Manawatu Knights are proud to announce
our first two international chess Grandmasters, Adrien Demuth (France)
and <span style="white-space: nowrap;">Fabien Libiszewski (France)</span><span>.
Other high profile players that have expressed interest in attending
are: 20 year old German International Master, Thorben Koop, four time NZ
Champion, International Master Russell Dive, two time Asian Woman
Senior Champion, Candidate Master Helen Miligan and two additional,
anonymous </span><span>(at this stage)</span><span> International
Grand Masters. Manawatu Knights President, Mark Noble says "It's a
great opportunity with such a high caliber of international competitors.
This is a huge financial commitment for our club, but an excellent
venture for our young players. Our club is currently seeking financing
support with various sponsorship deals available."</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-size: small;">The
presence of three International Grand Masters will make world
titles/norms a possibility for our local young stars. Examples of our
stars are: 5 time under 10 NZ junior champion, Isabella Malton (now 11),
2015 NZ junior female champion Hananke Calitz, newly crowned Candidate
Master Jack James who is also the current North Island Champion, current
National Junior Champion and the current Oceania Junior Champion.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-size: small;">As
part of the NZ Chess congress, we will be running an International
Trans-Tasman match to be held at the Millennium Copthorne Lounge on the <span class="gmail-m_6124844919882147426gmail-aBn"><span class="gmail-m_6124844919882147426gmail-aQJ">5th of January, starting at 7.30pm</span></span>. This match is to be 8 games (roughly 10 minutes long per game) and will be live streamed online as well.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-size: small;">We will also be running a Simultaneous Exhibition in the Square on the <span class="gmail-m_6124844919882147426gmail-aBn"><span class="gmail-m_6124844919882147426gmail-aQJ">12th of January, 12pm to 3pm</span></span>,
with one of our attending International Grand Masters. A Simultaneous
Exhibition is where a strong player goes around and plays approximately
20 people at the same time.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">For every event, members of the public are encouraged to observe the action.</span></span><br />
