Sunday tournaments around Lisbon 5

Sunday tournaments around Lisbon mostly start in the morning and can fill the whole day. A shopping centre in Oeiras has hosted a long-running series of Sunday morning tournaments for federated players, with a youth section, and the old gunpowder factory in Barcarena holds numbered chess days with free play, teaching and a giant board for everyone, and open and youth tournaments for those who want to compete.

Museum chess days follow a similar pattern: the municipal museum of Loures in Santo António dos Cavaleiros and the Air Museum in Pêro Pinheiro, near Sintra, have paired an afternoon tournament with free play and a giant board. In São Domingos de Rana a recreational society lends its hall for a chess day with a morning open, a youth tournament and, in the afternoon, a round of the Lisbon association's cup. These are dates in a series rather than weekly fixtures, so look up the next one before travelling.
