Moldovan Chess Championship

The Moldovan Chess Championship has been contested every year since 1944.

Since 1949 a separate women's championship has also been held in most years.

Both championships are currently held under the auspices of the Moldova Chess Federation (Romanian: Federația de Șah a Republicii Moldova), which was founded on 2 November 1994.
