"Comune di Briga Novarese" Trophy (FIDE Rapid Chess Tournament)

The 7th "Comune di Briga Novarese" Trophy took place in the spring of 2025 at the Peppino Impastato Municipal Library in Briga Novarese (NO), marking a new chapter in the chess series curated by the Borgomanero Chess Club. In 2025, the tournament maintained its seven-round FIDE Rapid format, confirming its status as one of the most popular events on the chess calendar in the Cusio region and the Province of Novara.

As per tradition, the day brought together registered competitive players and casual enthusiasts around the boards in a spirit of healthy competition that has characterized the event for years. The support of the Municipality of Briga Novarese and the commitment of the club ensured that the 2025 edition was once again a well-organized official tournament, valid for FIDE Rapid Elo ratings, set in one of the most evocative areas of Piedmont, just a few kilometers from Lake Orta.
