2009 Tom Arnett Memorial Tournament Nutshell Info

This CFC-rated tournament is named in honour of a Simcoe resident who contributed a lot to the world of chess, both as a player and an organizer. Before his death in October 2008, Tom Arnett lived with his wife Janet in Victoria Harbour. Janet has created a memorial page for Tom and his achievements (too many to list here!). Be sure to visit Parting Wishes to learn about Tom.

Janet also very generously donated many of Tom’s chess items (boards, sets, books, cd’s, and more) to the Simcoe County Chess Club. In this way, Tom will continue to be a part of chess in our community. We will always be grateful for the Tom Arnett Collection.
