Woodseats Summer Grand Prix 2005
Throughout the summer Woodseats Chess Club will be holding a series of 5 evening tournaments of
varying formats.  Each tournament will be a separate event in itself, but will also count towards a combined
score. At the end of the summer each contestants best four (or upto four) scores will be added together to 
give a final ‘Grand Prix’ total.
Entry fee will be £1 for each event, with ¾ of the entry fees being awarded as prizes on the night and ¼
going to the Grand Prix prize fund. Prizes will be awarded in grading sections in each case and we will also
provide a trophy for the overall Grand prix winner.
The events and dates will be as follows:
May 23rd. A 5 round Swiss with 10 minutes per player per game.
June 27th. A 4 round Swiss with 15 minutes per player per game.
July 18th. A 5 round Swiss with 10 minutes per player per game.
August 22nd. A 4 round Swiss with 15 minutes per player per game.
September 19th. A 7 round Swiss with 5 minutes per player per game.
All events will be on a Monday night starting at 7.45pm. Entries will be taken either in advance or on the
night, subject to space. Previous entrants will have priority in subsequent rounds.  
Entry is open to all and players may play in anything from 1 to 5 events, but the more you enter the better
your chance of winning the Grand Prix!
For more information or to enter please contact:

Bill Ward writes.
"There are to be some changes to the Laws of Chess, effective from 1st July
this year. A full list of these can be found on the BCF website at
www.bcf.org.uk.
In particular players should be aware of new rule 8.1 'Players may not write
down their moves in advance.'
Don't ask me why but it's the law!"
