Entry Details
Players are invited to apply for selection to the Commonwealth Chess Championship 2023-24 in Melaka, Malaysia from 19-28 February 2024. These events have official places for NZ players (i.e. registered with FIDE as NZL) which means cheaper registration fees and free shared accommodation for the player (but not accompanying persons/parents). If selected, NZCF will offer to register you/your child as an official player in the relevant category – for children under 18, this requires parental agreement.
The official website and regulations are here (including costs etc): https://malaysiachess.org/announcement/malaysia-to-organize-commonwealth-chess-championship-2023-24-from-19th-to-28th-february-in-melaka/
