Annual championship and rapidplay needs to end by the end of August - get any results not published in by then.

As planned we have entered a team into Div 3 of the BACL see separate page for fixtures. Please let me know what fixtures you are available for?

 

 

We are doing the Annual Club Championship from Monday 14th February to August 2022. based on the table on the relevent page. Time allowed as per the Bury League. We will use a mock grading systems based on the old ECF grading system. Everyone will start with a grading of 120. Grades will be upgraded monthly. This should give us a ranking system ready for September 2022.

 There will also be a all v all black & white rapid play - 30 minutes each

In September if there is enough interest we will enter a team (or two) in the Bury Area Chess League.
