My Week in Chess

Hampstead this weekend, Free Seminar on Fair Play

This week is shaping up to be busy - tonight at 7.00pm I am teaching a class on Zoom for players of about 120 level and after the class at 8pm we have a free event on Tornelo - so if you fancy a couple of practice games (2 x 15 min), join us on Zoom!

On Saturday 17th and Sunday 18th we are running the ECF graded Hampstead Congress online. You have to be a member of the ECF at any level to participate. There are 5 rounds and you can sign up here. If you are a premium subscriber to this newsletter, you can claim 50% off the entry fee!

Unsure about how to use Tornelo? Read this page - https://bit.ly/tornelohelp -and let me know if that doesn’t answer your questions.

At the same time I will be contributing to a free webinar about fair play in chess tournaments - https://home.tornelo.com/webinar/ and you can join us at 10am and then 11pm on Saturday 17th. There will be a Q&A at the end of each livestream.

In between doing live streams, and whilst running Hampstead, I will be attending the virtual English Chess Federation Annual General Meeting at 1.30pm - https://www.englishchess.org.uk/motions-for-the-2020-annual-general-meeting/ to vote on the future of English chess. You are entitled to attend.

John Sargent (a.k.a. @jorosar, he of Imperial College Chess Club and Congresses) and I are finalising the details for the 4-board, Open and U1825 online London Chess League, which launches next Wednesday. If you want to play in this, talk to your club secretary!
