European Championship

The 2014 European Chess Championships kicks off a couple of months of high level chess. The Championship is being held in Yerevan, Armenia and has attracted its usual strong field of GM's and other titled players. The games start tomorrow evening with live coverage being organised through the Chessdom website. You can probably get more details here.
Following that (with some overlap) is the 2014 Candidates tournament, which is being held in Khanty-Mansiysk. This event starts on the 11th March and you can follow the action at candidates2014.fide.com
Then rolling into April, a couple of important Australian events take place. The O2C Doeberl Cup starts on the 17th April (and finished on the 21st), with the Sydney International Open starting on the 23rd April.
So a busy two months for chess watchers, and chess players.
