Getting Here
Parking in downtown Toronto is not easy, and the site does not have a parking lot. There is limited parking available on side streets, or paid parking in city Green P parking lots nearby.
If it’s an option for you, we strongly suggest travelling by public transit. The site is convenient to reach by TTC, as we’re just a short walk from Bathurst subway station.

A Little History
The Labour Day Open chess tournament in Toronto has been the one not-to-miss event of the year for quite some time. Many will remember Bryan Lamb’s tournaments at the Macedonian Chess Club of St. Clement of Ohrid. Here are Bryan Lamb and Randy Moysoski from 2013.
This year, Annex Chess Club is starting a new chapter in this tradition. We’re very pleased to announce the 2017 Toronto Open on Labour Day weekend, September 2-4. This also revives the Toronto Open, which has not run since 2014, and before that not since the PWC Toronto Open of 2009.
