In order to provide somewhere for local players to play now that meetings and social gatherings have been shut down for the foreseeable future, we have created an All Cornwall team on lichess.org. We have also devised a programme designed to provide several different types of event at various rates of play so that individuals can choose the set of activities that suits them best. Links to the the clubs, the programme, upcoming events and other information are in the right-hand column.

For those who are unfamiliar with the process, links to instructions on how to create a user name, join a group and enter a tournament on both platforms are in the left-hand colum. A list of members with their user names is here. When we are able to resume over the board play, Cornwall Chess Online will continue.

The Cornwall Online Congress starts on Sunday, September 6 under the following arrangements:

Open to members of the All Cornwall team on lichess.

Seven fortnightly rounds ending on November 29.

Players to arrange games at mutually convenient dates subject to a set date (which will be a Sunday) if they cannot agree..

If there are 28 or more entries: two 8-player all-play-alls (Premier for the 8 highest rated players, Major for players 9-16) and the Minor which will be a seven round Swiss for everyone else. If there are 21-27 entries there will be one APA only and a Swiss.

In each round the players will play two games against their opponent, one with white and one with black.

Rate of play: 30 minutes each with 15 second per move increments from move 1.

There will be generous prizes for each section.

Full details and a link to the rules are here

Please send entries by email to 3a.roskear@gmail.com or by lichess message to roskearman on or before Friday 28^th August.

I'm hoping for a large entry. Anyone who enters will be playing against opponents of roughly their standard at a longer time limit that allows for a 'proper game'.
