The 10th Vardaris International Chess Tournament will take place in Thessaloniki, Greece, from 11 to 15 March 2027.
This year marks an important milestone for us. Ten editions after the first Vardaris, we continue with the same goal: to offer a strong international tournament, excellent playing conditions and an enjoyable experience for everyone joining us in Thessaloniki.
€6,000 in cash prizes + €1,300 in Modern Chess vouchers
Playing venue
The tournament will once again be hosted at the Holiday Inn Thessaloniki by IHG, Monastiriou 8, in the heart of Thessaloniki.
Our new website is here
For the 10th edition, we completely redesigned vardaris.com from the ground up. We wanted the website to be simple, clean and easy to navigate, allowing players to quickly find all the essential tournament information.
New partnership with Modern Chess
We are delighted to announce a new partnership between Vardaris and Modern Chess. As part of this collaboration, Modern Chess is providing €1,300 in vouchers that will be awarded as additional tournament prizes.
