We are pleased to announce our latest FIDE rated 10 player all play all event will take place over the bank holiday weekend of 23-25 August and resume two weeks later on 6-7 September 2008. The aim of the event is to give strong players the chance to play 9 competitive FIDE rated games whilst at the same time offering unrated players the opportunity to obtain a full FIDE rating in just one event. The event consists of 2 or 3 groups of 10 players each. Provided each unrated player scores at least 1/9 and performs above 1400 the unrated players are guaranteed to obtain a full FIDE rating in time for the October 2008 list (which will be used for 4NCL for example).

Due to an unavoidable withdrawal, we are looking for one more FIDE rated player for this event.
