    Yes...I made two mistakes with how I set that tournament up. Allowing vacation time and specifying three to go through from each group.

    It's very good how stuff like this gets organised and sorted. Sounds decent.

    I'm tempted to download the app and take part. Can I just have the relative info and I'll look into it. Haven't played chess in a long time. Used to play it every day and was addicted.

    Cheers

    I'd like to be included although probably in the 2nd division! Ianmh29
    However I will be away from 19 May for a week and won't be able to play in this time, so if it starts before then I won't be able to play.

    Ok.  There is no rush to get it started. I will aim to start it late May.

    I played in my first ever over-the-board tournament down in Frome a few weekends ago. Managed 2.5/5 which I was delighted with as I honestly didn't expect anything and the lowest-rated person I played was 1390 or something.

    I really enjoyed the experience and encourage anyone who plays chess online but hasn't tried a tournament yet to give it a go. I thought it would be quite tense and competitive but it was actually pretty friendly and relaxed. Had a good chat before and after the game with everyone I played. 

    Also a great excuse for a weekend away!

    I played for over 40 years for Charlton Chess Club, over the board chess is the best, I don't know if you live near a chess  club if you do it maybe worth you looking into joining it
