JUNIOR GRAND PRIX
The PRELIMINARY lists for the qualifiers to participate in the 2026 Junior Closed have been published. These lists include:
- The top 20 on GPX points.
- The top 15 on Rating.
The Top 5 from the 2025 Mzansi Individual Championships have NOT yet been added.
Please report any errors (incorrect genders, date-of-birth, etc.), including any player appearing on the list who is not a RSA citizen (not holding a valid RSA passport), to Chess South Africa and the Ratings Bureau no later than midnight on 9 January 2026. We will only accept corrections to be made from a Regional Official (President or Secretary) and only via email (not via any other method of communication). Messages from anyone else, except provincial officials, will be ignored and not entertained.
The final and official lists will be published on 12 January 2026 once all errors have been corrected and the lists have been approved by Chess South Africa.
Thank you and all the best for 2026.
