Players will be grouped by age and rating into all-play-all sections of similar strength. All sections will be ECF rated and I hope to FIDE rate the top 1 or 2 sections. The bottom section will be suitable for beginners with little experience of tournament chess.
Prizes : Trophies of 1st/2nd/3rd in each section ; medals for those missing out on a trophy by tie-break; small chocolate prizes for all U8s
Time control: Top sections: 20 min + 10 sec, bottom sections 15 min + 10 second (may be adjusted)
Children must be under the age of 18 on 31st August 2021 (school year 13 or lower).
The overall capacity is 48 children. Children will be split by strength into all-play-all sections. For this purpose a mixture of the July 2020 OTB ECF grading list, current ECF online and OTB ratings, and current lichess rapid ratings will be used.
