National Club Championships 11-12 April 2015

I cannot see a link to the results, not here nor on the official site. Don't they post all the latest ECF news on the official forum, or something ?

Congrats to Alex on running a generally successful event, though I am not sure who within the ECF has been questioning the revised format as far as most of the sections are concerned. I thought that the criticism had been rather aimed at the Open, and that criticism, of course, remains entirely valid.

Thanks, Ian.

I am amused to see that a club averaging 134 decided to enter the Open, in light of some of the earlier comments on this thread!

Well, they saved the event anyway and doubtless the Open will run next year between two other teams who haven't yet found out how boring it must be to play mismatched opposition four times in one weekend ...

They seem to have drawn 2-2 in round 1?! Plucky upset that
(Ok, then 4-0, 4-0 and I presume nothing in round 4.).

They're pretty pleased in Sutton Coldfield too: http://www.suttonchess.org.uk/
