I wanted to let you know about the opportunity to play a new Standard tournament, FIDE and ECF rated, on this very “weekend”, Friday the 2nd and Saturday the 3rd of May. I have noticed more of these unusual events taking place (no doubt because of the cost of venues over traditional weekends). [As I write we are doing a 4 round congress over a Tuesday and Wednesday in a pub in Muswell Hill, and it’s going to be something you see more often.] The event will take place near Nine Elms underground station in Wandsworth at Lansdowne Green Community Centre, 283-291 Wandsworth Rd, London SW8 2ND. It has three categories, Open, Under 1900 and Under 1600, with a generous prize fund. There will be 5 rounds with time format of 60 minutes plus 30 seconds increment from move 1. You can get a full FIDE rating in one tournament! Schedule - Friday: Round 1 at 15.30 - Round 2 at 19.00. Saturday: Round 3 at 10.00 - Round 4 at 13.30 - Round 5 at 17.00 Check out the form for more details here: https://form.jotform.com/242911720519050 For any questions, do not hesitate to contact the organiser, Domenico Napolitano (who will be familiar to many of you from his blitz events at Hendon Chess Club and MindSports), on: 074404 70298, or napolitanodomenico15@gmail.com.
