The 2019 Bradford Congress is officially available to enter! Please make your way to the congress page or click here to download an entry form. As always, this congress is very important for promoting Bradford and the surrounding region for chess players everywhere, and all are welcome to take part. Firstly, I hope you are all keeping safe and well in these unprecedented times. As you are all probably aware, it bengalsfootballnews.com is looking increasingly unlikely that any form of over the board chess will recommence soon. However, in the meantime, I’d like to direct anyone who is not currently aware to the website chess.com where Andy Bak is currently running some informal and fun tournaments on Tuesday evenings. If anyone is interested in taking part, please contact Andy for details, or follow the information on the BDCA facebook page.
South Bradford will be playing from a new venue this season; Great Horton Park Chapel Cricket Club. The championships are run through the Midland Counties Chess Union and the best 2 teams from each section progress to the English Chess Federation national stages. We are still finalising Warwickshire County Teams for 2021 but are currently planning to enter teams in the Minor Open and u1650 sections. Congratulations to the winners of the various tournaments held during the first season back after Covid. Essex teams are entered at U2050, U1850, U1650 and U1450. The new Season’s fixtures are published for the SCCU County Championships.

Greg was born in 1947 and as far as we’re aware has always lived in Norfolk and went to school in the area. He was interested in chess from an early age and there is a picture somewhere of an 18 year old Greg taking part in a Simultaneous Display against Owen Hindle. 7.5.4 If a player uses two hands to make a single move and pressed the clock, it shall be considered and penalized as if an illegal move. 7.5.3 If the player presses the clock without making a move, it shall be considered and penalized as if an illegal move. 7.5.2 If the player has moved a pawn to the furthest distant rank, pressed the clock, but not replaced the pawn with a new piece, the move is illegal. The pawn shall be replaced by a queen of the same colour as the pawn. Leicestershire achieved a comprehensive victory against Nottinghamshire and Lincolnshire in the Junior U board competition that took place in North Hykenham on Sunday 25th March.
Thornaby Chess Club – new venue
Please use the contact page if you have any chess events to promote in Lancashire. Clubs have been asked to submit a paragraph or two, as we open up from the confines of Covid-19. It will take a while before all clubs are back up and running again. We have no teams in the Bury and Rochdale League but again because there is no league at the present. As part of our series of updates as we come out of the Covid pandemic and get back to normality, a few clubs have already started with getting back to some normality.
Atkins Rapidplay – Current Entries
All are welcome to come and play Chess, new to chess or from other Chess clubs. We have been having a regular attendance of up to ten players each week. As the season commences, weekly updates will appear and significant points will be noted here in the news section. At this point, please note that the season’s calendar and league tables have been updated along with the grading lists to be used from the start of the season. Please note that next Tuesday, the Latvian club are holding the TEAM LIGHTNING competition. This is a five board competition and is played at ten seconds per move. If you are unable to field a team but would like to play, please go down to the venue anyway as there is almost certainly the opportunity to play as part of a cross-club team.
