e2e4 Chess runs what are widely regarded as the best chess tournaments in the UK.  Our next planned events are:- 

Brighton International : 15-19 February 2012

Our familiar series of 10 player all play all events returns to Brighton in 2012.

The Masters will offer players the opportunity to play for an IM norm and is open to players rated 2050 or above, or those who have qualified via the Challengers.

The Challengers is open to players rated over 1900, or graded above 150 ECF, or qualified from a previous Major. Players will be placed in groups of approximately equal strength. The winner of each challengers section will qualify for the next Masters event free of charge.

The Major is open to all players rated below 2000 (or graded below 165 ECF) who want to play 9 competitive FIDE rated games of chess in a friendly atmosphere with the opportunity to gain those all important rating points or obtain their first ever FIDE rating. Players will be placed in groups according to rating / grade so that all the players in a group are of a similar strength.  In an all play all, all games are FIDE rated, even if unrated players take part (this is unique to all play alls) so an unrated players can obtain a full FIDE rating just by playing in this one event.

High Wycombe Congress : 16-18 March 2012

Following our successful debut we return to the beautiful surroundings of the Devere Uplands Park for our High Wycombe Congress.  The event will be a 5 round swiss but, for the first time we will have four sections with three of them FIDE rated.  This is a great opportunity for players of all standards to play competitive FIDE rated games in the UK.

The FIDE rated sections will be Open, Major Under 2050 (175 ECF) and Intermediate Under 1850 (150 ECF) whilst the Minor Under 120 section will be ECF graded but not FIDE rated.

We hope to see you there.
