The Doeberl Cup is an annual chess tournament held in Canberra, Australia. It has been held every year since 1963 and is the longest running weekend chess event in Australia.[1] Since its inception the event has grown both larger and stronger, and often attracts more players than the Australian Chess Championships.
The tournament is held each year over Easter. The tournament runs in 4 sections, with the top section known as the Doeberl Cup Premier. Grandmaster Ian Rogers holds the record for the most number of wins (either outright or on tie-break) with 12.[1]
The Doeberl Cup was named after its primary sponsor, Erich Doeberl, and although it is no longer sponsored by his family, the name is still used to describe the tournament.
All players Australian unless indicated otherwise. With the exceptions of 1970 and 2005, only outright winners or winners on tie-break listed.
