Club Tournaments
At Leamington Chess Club, we have a number of club tournaments that all members are welcome to participate in. All of our events allow members to enjoy playing each other in a friendly atmosphere and the range of competitions is such that there should be something for everybody.
The Club Knock Out event commences in September and runs through the course of the season. All those who lose in the first round of the club knock out, are eligible to play in the Plate Competition, the first round of which runs in parallel to the second round of the club knock out. This guarantees our members at least two games in our main competitions each season. Games in the knock out and plate events are sent for grading.
In addition, we run an All-Play-All competition, that anybody joining at any point in the year is welcome to enter. Players play two games against each other (generally at a time limit of 30 minutes each.) The winner is the person with the most points by the close of play on the Tuesday before our AGM in April. There are also a number of nominal prizes for the leader at the end of the Summer, the Christmas leader and the person who scores the most points in the 2012 calendar year. Thus giving all players something to play for, no matter when in the season they start playing their games. Games in this competition are not sent for grading.
The club championship is decided by a match between the winner of the All-Play-All event and the winner of the knock out competition.
In addition to these events, we hold a 'Fisher random' tournament, just before Christmas each year. We are always open to other ideas that members may have for further events. Please let Ben Graff or Adrian Walker know if there is an event you would like to see.
