Rapidplay: Thursday 22 September
We will be running a rapidplay tournament on Thursday evenings, every three or four weeks between September 22nd and Christmas. You will have 15 minutes to make all your moves in each game, plus a 10 second increment per move [Edit: not 10+15 as I erroneously wrote originally]. The first three rounds will take place on 22nd September; please be there at 7.45 p.m. to register. Points scored will be carried forward, with rounds 4 to 6 taking place in mid to late October. It doesn’t matter if you might not be able to make every round: those who turn up on the night will play, and those who don’t, won’t! Entry is free to club members (and potential members) and prizes will consist in the glory of being acclaimed by your peers and mentioned on this website. We will provide all equipment. As usual if you have any questions or suggestions, do ask here or email us at galwaychess[at]gmail[dot]com.
