♟️ Chess England Tournament Radar

There’s plenty of rated chess ahead over the next month — evening blitz (come to Hendon above!), weekday rapid and standard chess, Golders Green, and a very busy Mind Sports weekend.

📍 Cumberland Lawn Tennis Club, 25 Alvanley Gardens, London NW6 1JD
🕢 7.30pm–10pm

Six rounds at 10 minutes per player, with no increment. Hosted by Hendon Chess Club, but open to everyone.

🕥 10.30am–before 5.30pm

Choose between:

⚡ Rapid: six FIDE and ECF-rated games with prizes
♟️ Standard: two FIDE and ECF-rated games

The rapid time control is 20 minutes plus 5 seconds per move; standard is 60 minutes plus 30 seconds per move.

This is a good one if you want a proper day of rated chess without giving up a weekend.
