60 entries and rising for the weekend!

Can't play all three days? You can take TWO half point byes in rounds 1-5 (more by arrangement, but you will only get half a point for each of the two missed games) which means you can take Saturday / Sunday / Bank Holiday Monday off!

These are held over the Bank Holiday Weekend, Saturday to Monday. There are three sections, a FIDE Open (with a British Championship Qualifying Place), a FIDE Under 1900 (or ECF 160 if you don't have a standard FIDE rating already) and an Under 135 ECF graded section.
