Asian Junior Chess Championship

For the age-unrestricted chess tournament, see Asian Chess Championship.

The Asian Junior Chess Championship is an annual chess tournament open to players in Asia and Oceania (FIDE Zones 3.1 to 3.7) who are under 20 years of age. The tournament has been held annually since 1977 with occasional interruptions. Since 1985, a separate Asian championship for girls has also been organized.[1] Since at least 1996, the two championships have always been held concurrently.[2]
