The Nicaraguan Chess Championship is currently organized by Fenanic (Spanish: Federación Nacional de Ajedrez de Nicaragua), the national chess federation of Nicaragua. After the first championship was held as a match in 1956, subsequent editions have been held as tournaments in multiple categories,[1] with the winner of the top category becoming the national champion.
