Summer Programme Switcheroo

Just so you know, we've swapped around the next two events in the summer programme. I'll update the official list at the weekend, but for now here's the line up:

Thursday 31st July	15-Minute Tournament
Thursday 14th August	Masterclass from Ed Player

I hope we see lots of you there.

Summer Grades are Out

You can find them on the ECF grading site. Or for a list of our whole club, try here.

Please check your game history, and inform the ECF (or me) of anything which is missing, extra or simply doesn't look right. They do make mistakes occasionally.

The grades will be on the club website soon.

Gambit Tournament!

Next Thursday, July 17th, sees the return of one of our summer favourites: the Gambit Tournament.

We’ll be playing four rounds, each beginning with a different gambit opening. There are gambits for both black and white in e4 and d4 systems, so hopefully everyone will get to see something not too far from their opening repertoire. You can find details of the gambits we'll be playing here.

You’ll be competing for a bottle of champagne –  the proceeds of our victorious campaigns in last season’s Roger Goldsmith competitions. Another will be will be up for grabs in a few weeks.

As ever, the outline of the summer programme as a whole is online at: www.bsechess.org.uk/summer.
