Format:

The 2026 Fallsview International Chess Open brings a new international tournament to Niagara Falls, Ontario from November 11–15, 2026. Annex Chess Club and Niagara Falls Chess Club co-host the event in partnership with Fallsview Group at the DoubleTree Fallsview Resort & Spa by Hilton.

The festival combines a nine-round Master section designed for norm opportunities with a five-round Open event for a broader rating range. Both use classical 90 minutes plus a 30-second increment, while the Master field is built around titled players and a minimum FIDE-rating requirement.
