We are currently looking for someone to represent the Club in this competition.
This is an individual knock-out tournament open to all Chess Scotland clubs. Matches are played at evenings or weekends at the home player’s club or home, or a neutral venue. There can be signficant travel involved.
The MacIsaac is for club champions, or failing that, a club member graded at least 1850. This season the club champion has declined to participate so we are extending the invitation to the wider membership. If you would like to represent the club in this competition please let me know by 26th October.

The Edinburgh Allegro League is played on the second Thursday of the month at the Original Hotel Roslin. Two rounds are played each evening, the first at 7.30pm and the second at 9pm. Time limit is 30 minutes per player. Teams comprise four players of average grade 1450.
We will shortly need to decide how many teams we enter in this competition this season (it was two last year, but a lot depends on the grades of interested players).
If you’re interested in playing in this season’s competition and haven’t already indicated so, please let me know.
