    Edinburgh Chess Club Members Lightning

    19:30 -21:30
    20/06/2023
    Alva Street
    EH2 4PH

    It would be extremely helpful, although not a requirement, if members could let Raj Bhopal know whether they will be playing in this event.  Preferably, send an email to: rbhopal@doctors.net.uk.  You may, however, turn up on the day at the time specified.  Late-comers will not be added to the competition.

    Please arrive sharp at 7:30 PM. (Expected finish 9:30 PM).

    Members of the club are eligible for this event (visitors and guests are not eligible to play although of course new membership applications are possible!).

    There will be a trophy, and the winner will be recorded in the annals of the history of the club, via the minutes of the AGM.  There will probably be seven rounds, depending on the number of people who play.  The results will not be sent for grading.

    Time control: five minutes per game with no increments (the modern three minutes with two second increments is too fast for many!)

    Organiser: Raj Bhopal (rbhopal@doctors.net.uk)
    Arbiter: David Archibald
    Pairing maestro: Andre Antunes

    Please arrive sharp at 10:15 AM for a 10.30 start (we expect to finish about 4 PM).

    Paid-up members of the club are eligible for this event (associate members, visitors and guests are not eligible to play although of course new membership applications or upgrades to membership are possible!).

    Members will compete for the Johnny Marr trophy for our allegro chess championship.  We will play five games meaning just over 4 hours of chess.  The results will be sent to Scottish chess for grading.

    Time-control: 25 minutes per game, without increments,
