The Committee has decided to start this season with another FIDE Blitz tournament rather than the usual AGM.
The objective is to get the season off to a fun start.
Details of the tournament are as follows:
- Start 7.30pm; estimated finish 10.25pm
- 7 rounds
- Time control - 8 minutes + 2 sec a move (digital) or 10 minutes flat (manual) per player
- Entry fee
- Members - £4 in advance or £5 on the day.
- Non Members - £8 in advance or £10 on the day.
- ECF Membership – You need to have Gold or Platinum membership
Payment can be made in advance; either to Jon Griffiths or directly into the club’s bank account.
For those choosing to pay on the night, it would be appreciated if you would arrive by 7.20pm to enable a prompt start.
Last time there were 12 players with grades ranging from 110 to over 200. Hopefully, we will manage more this time.
I look forward to seeing you.
Regards Ian Snape
P.S. As per previous the previous blog, if blitz isn't your thing, you are of course to play a Club Championship match of few friendly games instead.
