PLEASE NOTE: You must use the online entry form at the following page (check your grade online NOW at the English Chess Federation website), and give us your date of birth and tell us whether you belong to a chess Club. If you have problems with the online form, simply click here to email your entry to me.
B. Enter By Post.
The entry fee is £15.00 (£14 for Juniors UNDER 16 or members of Hendon Chess Club) if you enter in advance by post. Please make cheques payable to QUICKPLAY. Fill in an entry form and post it in good time to Adam Raoof, 328 Watford Way, Hendon, London NW4 4UY.
You can download the entry form here. If you want me to send you some forms for your club then I would be grateful for a stamped, self-addressed envelope!
C. Enter on the day of the event.
Just turn up before 10.30am if you want to play all six rounds, or before 11.30am if you are taking a half point bye in round one.
If you are a late entry you will have to fill in an entry card and queue to pay before you can play your first game. There may be a slight delay before you are paired for round one.
Entry costs £20.00 if you enter and pay on the day of the tournament. There are no late entry fees for members of Hendon Chess Club or Juniors under 16 years old on the day of the event. Cheques only accepted with a valid guarantee card.
