STRAWBERRIES & CREAM RAPID PLAY

 

ORGANISED BY PAUL BUSWELL

by courtesy of

THE CHAIRMAN & COMMITTEE OF

HASTINGS & ST LEONARDS CHESS CLUB

 

TO BE HELD ON

SUNDAY 30 JUNE

CLOCKS START 2:00 p.m.

(arrive and pay by 1:45 p.m.)

 

7 Round Swiss of 10 minutes per game plus 5 seconds per move.

Results will be submitted for English Chess Federation rapidplay grading.

 

LAST DAY TO IMPROVE YOUR GRADE FOR THE NEW LIST (out late July)

Even if you have no other results, playing here guarantees a rapidplay grade in the new list

 

ENTRIES ONLY FROM PLAYERS who are Hastings & St Leonards club members, and also ECF members.

(If the event was open more widely it would mean the Club paying fees to the E.C.F. when the results were graded).

 

Many modest (sometimes silly) prizes to be won by players at all levels.

Prize giving is expected to be finished by 6:30 p.m.

 

Entrance numbers strictly limited to 20 absolute tops

and people will be turned away after that number is reached,

so advance booking is strongly recommended.

Don’t give your entry through anyone else,  I do not accept indirect or word of mouth entries.

No tournament if fewer than 12 definite entries by the summer solstice.  .

 

Entry fees:
