17 March 2020 – All League chess and internal tournaments have been suspended and many congresses have been cancelled but you will need to check the congresses’ websites for more information.
Competitions
For those of you who are interested in playing competitive chess we have a number of options.
League Chess
The Club enters three teams in the Bournemouth and District Chess League. In 2019-20, these will compete in Divisions 2,3 and 5.
More information on the B&DCL can be found at http://www.dorsetchess.co.uk.
Internal tournaments
We also have internal tournaments which comprise a knockout tournament for all members and an all-play-all tournament for our stronger players.
External Tournaments
Some members also enter a number of chess congresses each year on an individual basis. Some are local events within Dorset and others are further afield.
