To be eligible you must be a member of one of the town's chess clubs (ie Telepost, Shrewsbury, Condover, or Shropshire Juniors) and every match must be played either at Telepost, Shrewsbury, or Condover. All games will be played under league rules (95 minutes each on the clock to complete all moves) and will be submitted for grading. Should there be a tie then the sum of progressive scores will decide places. The tournament will run from May 2014 until September 2014. I will publish each round on the internet and by e-mail. If you do not have computer access, please ask a colleague to keep you up to date. Players must agree date and venue with their opponent – the player with white will be regarded as the home player. Please pay entry fee of £2-00 in due course to the club treasurer at your own host chess club. This tournament is intended to enliven the summer chess scene in the town by giving players of whatever standard an opportunity to play five competitive games and sample the hospitality afforded to their guests by the town's chess clubs. Club nights are :- Monday = Telepost Chess Club *** Friday = Shrewsbury Chess Club *** Tuesday = Condover Chess Club (As a last resort it is usually possible to play at Telepost Club on other evenings - but if so please ring the clubhouse 01743 248205 beforehand ) Please check your own contact details and let me know if they need amending.
