LDCL Drinks Policy

Published on: 28 -08-2024

LDCL is committed to ensuring that we play chess in a sustainable way. We want to properly support the venues and communities of which we are a part. To this end, we have an expectation that adult players will not bring water bottles or other such drinks to venues that have facilities, and will instead purchase a drink at the paid bar. Clubs at which drinks are not available are asked to arrange with the webmaster for this to be indicated on their entry on the league website.

LDCL Individual Knockouts (KO's)

Published on: 06 -08-2024

Tom Darling writes: I'd like to check for interest in our league-wide individual knockouts in the upcoming season.

Each of these will run if there's enough interest. They're open to any registered player, league-wide.

  • Open
  • Under 1825
  • Under 1650
  • Under 1450
  • Handicapped rapidplay

The first four of these are played at standard league time controls. The rapidplay is a set of three games each lasting one hour, with higher-rated players having less time on the clock. I'll give more details on the format once I know which are running and with how many people.

Please email me at tomjd1978@btinternet.com to express an interest.
