New Season - Important Club Information

Hope everyone had a really good Summer Holiday!

I am pleased to say the New Season is almost upon us and next week Tuesday 27th August I will start collecting membership fees for the New Season.

Could all members please try and attend - even if just to pay the membership fees - as we have to pay the ECF their membership fees very soon and any members not registered are unable to play in the league.

This year the membership fee is £32.00 for Adults and £25.00 for U18's. This membership fee includes your Bronze membership to the ECF. Hire of the room. Fees to Coventry League and finally, the general running of Coventry Chess Club!

If any players hold a silver,gold or platinum membership please let me know as I will need to deduct this from your membership.

I also have the Fixture Cards for the start of the first Matches. The First match is a Divisional Cup Match on 24th September 2013. With League Matches starting Tuesday October 1st.

Captains, please note that the new online means of entering results is being used this season, however Oliver Cosham still requires you to either send in a card OR for the first time in history Oliver will accept the results by email:

His email address is: olivercosham@me.com

Looking forward to seeing everyone on Tuesday! - Simon

ECF Grades

The new (2013) ECF grades have just been published. Just go to the ECF grading database at this link and find out your new grade. http://www.englishchess.org.uk/grading/database/

Also, whilst I was browsing the ECF website I noticed that one of the benefits of being a member of the ECF is that all Bronze,Silver and Gold members have access to the online newsletter "Chess Moves" which is published every two months by the ECF

I am not sure how many members are aware of this, but it is well worth signing up as I have just recently signed up and it is very informative. Lots of news,details of tournaments, and games to go through. You also get access to all the back issues as well!

In fact this months issue has a good article on Nigel Short and how he fared at his latest tournament.Along with some of his games

To sign up go here http://www.englishchess.org.uk/chess-moves-2/ and get your password for access.

Exciting New Chess Tournament! e2 e4

There is a Chess Tournament near Coventry. Just outside Hinckley. It is open to all with a top prize of at least £300.00! possibly more if there are more entrants.

It would be great to see some Coventry Chess members participating. Full details below and a website where you can download an entry form. If you have any questions about the tournament beforehand I am sure the organiser Sean Hewitt would not mind if you called him.

His email is below:-

Dear All, We are running a congress locally to you - e2e4 Coventry Congress which will be held at the Holiday Inn Coventry between 23-26 August 2013. Full details are available online at :
