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.
