Rapid tournaments around Bogotá 6

Rapid is the time control of most one-day chess events around Bogotá. In the city, the numbered tournament in the Avenida Chile food hall is played at rapid pace, the Codema Grand Prix alternates rapid and classical dates, and the summer festival at the Centro de Felicidad Cometas in Suba is a two-day rapid open whose entry is free.

In the Sabana, the Liga de Ajedrez de Cundinamarca runs its circuit as rapid stops: sections from under-6 up to masters at the Coliseo Leon XIII in Soacha, children’s and amateur sections at the coliseum of Tocancipá. Cajicá has staged the departmental rapid and blitz championship at the Colegio Howard. For a visiting player a rapid day is the quickest way to meet the local scene across the board.
