If you live in, or around, London and your league season is over, and if you’re missing your weekly chess fix, what’s to stop you playing in the 4th Pimlico Chess Tournament, which takes place over five evenings on:

Round 1: Thursday 29 May 2014
Round 2: Thursday 5 June 2014
Round 3: Thursday 12 June 2014
Round 4: Tuesday 17 June 2014
Round 5: Thursday 26 June 2014

There’s a Open, an Under-150 and an Under-120 section.

Numbers are restricted to 60 and the tournament is already half-full.

As James Toon says above, the time control is all moves in 75 minutes with 15 seconds a move added from the start.

There are entry details and a list of entrants here http://pcc1.net/4psct.html.

Last call! The deadline for entries is midnight tonight. The draw for the first round will appear on the tournament home page – http://pcc1.net/4psct.html on Wednesday. After Real Madrid's last gasp equaliser in the Champions League final, the top-seed in each section will start with the Black pieces.
