Uxbridge International : 12-16 August 2009

Thanks to generous sponsorship from A2B Media, we are pleased to announce that GM Tiger Hillarp-Persson will be attending the Uxbridge International and will deliver a free Master Class (open to all entrants) on Wednesday 12th August at 9pm.

The Masters event offers players (preferably 2150+) the opportunity of 9 competitive games of chess with the the chance to secure that all important norm.  Due to high demand, we have decided to run two Masters sections to offer as many players as possible the chance to play this kind of event, and have added a GM norm section.  Contact us for full details!

The  Challengers event offers players (ideally rated 2000+ or graded above 130 ECF) 9 competitive FIDE rated games and for unrated players the opportunity to obtain a full FIDE rating in one event.  Players will be divided into equal strength sections of 10 players.  The winner of each Challengers section will receive a superb package of free entry to the next Uxbridge Masters, together with free accommodation at the venue for the duration of the event - a package worth £300.  A great way to pay for your entry to the Masters!

The Get Me Rated events does exactly what it says - it's aimed at players rated below 2000 (or graded below 150 ECF) who want to play 9 competitive 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 of 10 according to rating / grade so that all the players in a group are of a similar strength.  By playing in this event, an unrated player will be assured of achieving a full FIDE rating as long as all the unrated players score at least a 1/2 point.  FIDE ratings now go down to 1201 so it is realistic for any player graded 60 ECF or above to obtain a FIDE rating.
