Nova Scotia Champions

The Nova Scotia Chess Champion is the winner of the Nova Scotia Closed Championship and is qualified to play in the Atlantic Closed Chess Championship. Because some of the records have been lost over the years we have not always been able to distinguish between a Nova Scotia Closed and Nova Scotia Open Champion.
