The 2025 O2C Doeberl Cup

GM Darryl Johansen will be running live commentary at the venue for each round of the Premier. Commentary sessions begin an hour after the start of each round and are free for all spectators.

For those watching online, games from the Premier Division will be broadcast online - see the Live Broadcast page from 17 April 2025 for all the action.

The limit for the Major has been reached. If you are eligible for another section (based on your ACF/FIDE rating), please register for that. An additional 20 places in the Major have been set aside under changed conditions: players with an ACF Rating between 1800 and 2000 and a FIDE rating below 2000.

Only those who cannot play in another division will be accepted for the Major.

Players in the Premier Division are now required to have an ACF or FIDE Rating of 2000 and above.

Due to an administrative error, this change was not reflected on the registration form until shortly after the open of registrations. Any players currently on the list of registered participants with ratings below the revised limits are permitted to remain in the Premier Division.
