Return of the Online league for 2021

 David Price and Alberto Gissi are organising the second NSDCA Online rapid play tournament. As before the games will be on Lichess.

The time controls are the same as in the 2020 tournament, 25 minutes with a 5 second increment. The matches will consist of 2 games versus the same opponent on the same evening, one game with each colour.

The proposed start date is week commencing Monday 18th January and as with the previous on line league we would play on the alternative week to the 4NCL on line league.

Alberto is also looking to run a congress style event over several weeks. This will allow players to be paired more equally, possibly in different graded sections. This will be a single game at a longer time control,  45 mins + 15 secs.

This would be a good time for club secretaries and team captains to circulate their membership so we can attempt to increase participation.

To confirm entries please contact David.
