This is a Chess-Only Event
We cannot (entirely) blame this one on COVID! Due to some scheduling challenges and slow booking (which was probably due to COVID), we are not able to retain our block of rooms and have decided that the best course was cancel the event.
Although everyone should be taken care of, if you are booked for this event and have not been contacted, please reach out to us at info@gamingbysea.com or directly to the agency. Please know that if you have a room booked, you may still go on your vacation if you wish. If you do not, you can cancel without penalty.
Thank you!
