Brace yourselves for a frantic evening of chess! This coming Monday 14th August we’ll be hosting a pre-season Graded Rapid-play night.
Following hot on the heels of last season’s hugely successful Rapid-play evening, this is another opportunity for everyone in the club to obtain a quick-play grade.
Details as follows:
- Where: The Albion pub (upstairs function room)
- When: Monday 14th, two games starting at 7.45, and 8.45 – one as White, and one as Black, against an opponent of similar ability
- Time Control: 30 mins per person, no increment
Anybody who is ECF registered for the 17/18 season is eligible to play, we’ll just need to know your ECF number – this includes any non-members who want to come along.
And, in a sneak preview of our plans for next season – we’re finessing details for our season-long Club Rapid-play tournament. We’ll be offering graded Rapid-play games on a monthly basis for anyone who wants to enter… watch this space!
Whats ecf?
Hi Deven,
To clarify, everyone will be welcome to come along on Monday, members or not. Only players registered for 17/18 will be eligible to play the graded games.
Hi Deven- that’s the English Chess Federation (http://www.englishchess.org.uk) – in order to get your games graded, you need to be a member. One year memberships start from about £13, and it’s very easy to register – check out their website.
Thanks!!
I’ll be there!
Cheers
