4NCL Final Weekend

AM playing for Wessex B in the Four Nations Chess League's final weekend of the 2024-5 season.

We are in division four, which is being held in a Holiday Inn on the outskirts of Coventry today, tomorrow and Monday.

Our opponents today are Nottinghamshire-based Ashfield 3, which, as the table below shows, is something of an upfloat for us.

The time control is 40 moves in 90 minutes, followed by a further 30 minutes, with a 30-second increment throughout.

Board pairings are published 60-90 minutes before the start of each round.
