You have one of the best chess websites I have seen. It is very friendly and clever. As the chess administrator for the family, I am seriously impressed by the on-line booking. A Chess Parent
You're probably here because a) you play chess and you're looking to take part in competitions and b) you read that I run (with lots of help from friendly volunteers) the monthly Golders Green Rapidplays in the London Evening Standard, the British Chess Magazine, Chess Monthly or possibly online on the ECF (English Chess Federation) calendar or similar calendars.
Well, you found the right website! Thanks for visiting. Please take a look around and let me know if I can improve the experience for you. Don't forget to enter online in time for the next event.
