    The Championship consists of a 7-round robin with the top-ranked 6 players, joined by last year's Champion and last year's Challengers winner. 

    The remaining players compete in the Challengers tournament, a 7-round Swiss tournament, open to all club members, of all skill levels. 

    You are expected to play roughly 1 match per month, starting in early Autumn .

    Please not that both tournaments are Chess Scotland-graded competitions, and require a certain degree of commitment.

    Please let me know until the 8th of October whether you would like to play by either registering online or by sending me an e-mail at:

     serigado+ecc@protonmail.com

    Best regards,

    André Antunes
