An experimental format, similar to the “Fast Classical” currently being trialed by FIDE – such time controls are already allowed for U1800 players. An opportunity to play (up to) 5 FIDE rated games in a day, for those who have FIDE rating U1800 or no FIDE rating at all. We’re using a 40 20 time control, and we’ll be running 5 rounds in the day – though we appreciate some players might want to take a half-point bye or two. Games at: 10am, 12.15pm, 2.30pm, 4.45pm, 7pm Prizes will be depending on entry, but the low entry fees (£18.50 with a FIDE rating, £25 without). Prizes/freebies for all. Free buffet. Cash prize for 1st place only (est. £100-£150 depending on entries).
