I am running a series of over the board tournaments in Hendon, NW4.

If you are rated about 2200 and above I am hosting a 5 round rated event from 25 to 27 June. I already have a 2190, 2200 and 2300 taking part!

If you are Under 2200 then the dates for your diary are 19 and 20 July.

I'm also experimenting with an Under 1900 and Under 1600 so do contact me if you would like to get some real chess under your belt this summer!

Yes indeed!

How are you navigating the Rule of 6 for the 25-27 June event inside your house?

Sorry, there are 6 players maximum for any event, and one of those games is outdoors - or I am outdoors!

I am happy to say that I sucessfully navigated two modestly proportioned (one 4 player, one 6 player) and fully covid compliant over the board events in Hendon this week, my first OTB tournaments since March 2020. All the players enjoyed the novelty of chess in three dimensions but reported experiencing significant amounts of rust!
