The Federação Amazonense de Xadrez is organizing the V Manaus Chess Open 2026, which will take place from October 10 to 17 in Manaus, Amazonas, Brazil.
Hosted at the Blue Tree Premium Manaus in the Adrianópolis district, the nine-round classical tournament serves as the flagship event of a broader regional chess festival.
The event features a substantial prize pool of R$85,000 (approximately $16,740 USD), establishing it as a tournament of major national and international significance. Played under standard FIDE and CBX classical time controls of 90 minutes plus a 30-second increment per move, the open competition has already drawn an impressive lineup of titled players representing multiple international federations.
In addition to playing for international FIDE rating points and generous main and category prizes, participants will experience the unique setting of the Amazonian capital.
The tournament operations will be managed by Tournament Director Rudson Marinho Peixoto together with Chief Arbiter Sabrina de San Vicente.
