» 16th June Hendon Championships (Open to all)
Please sign up for our 75th Anniversary Club Championship!
Hendon Chess Club's annual tournament starts on 16th June, and runs over six Thursdays in June and July. (Dates: June 16, 23, 30, July 7, 14 and 21). Our lovely venue is the Cumberland Lawn Tennis Club, 25 Alvanley Gardens, London NW6 1JD (map), which is five minutes’ walk from Finchley Road & Frognal Station. We meet in the Ramus Room (as you enter the club turn left and go through the white door and up the stairs).
This is a special tournament, as we are celebrating 75 years since the founding of the club. We hope you will join us! There will be one round per week, at a standard-play time limit (probably 45m per player + 30sec/move to finish at 10pm). The event will be ECF-rated. Byes are available if you can't make it all six evenings.
To participate, you must be both a member of the club and a member of the ECF at Bronze level or higher. If you aren't already a club member for 2021/22, you can join now for £30 (£24 concessions). This will ALSO give you discounts for the blitz tournament at Hendon on 4th August and Golders Green FIDE Rapid!
If you'd like to participate in the tournament, please sign up here!
