Riviera Chess Congress 2026?

[Andrew Zigmond]

Posted on this section rather than the Congress Diary as I don't want to cause confusion.

Does anybody know if the Riviera congress that last year was held in the first week of September will go ahead this year and what week it will be? The organisers did say that they planned go ahead at the end of last year's event but nothing appears to have been announced.

I've been told by a local that it's going ahead in the first week of September again, but I have seen no confirmation
