Entries for the U1200 Medley (running alongside our FIDE Classical) are now closed.
- Email rock(at)alphachess.co.uk or use the contact form to join the waiting list. If space allows and numbers are even, we may be able to accommodate more players.
- Alternatively, you can still enter the FIDE Classical. We welcome unrated and new players and recommend the Walnut section for those new to competitive chess.
We're flexible and inclusive — players are welcome to participate in just a single game, a few rounds, or one day. On Saturday (the day of the Medley), you can join us for 3 games (80+10 time control) for just £35.
