Following the government announcement on January 5th, it will not be possible to run OTB clubs, competitions or congresses, or to take part in organised OTB chess. This will be the case for the duration of the new lockdown, and maybe longer depending on HM Government guidance.
The ECF will continue to offer a range of online competitions following on from the British Online Chess Championships in December and early January. We continue to keep HM Government announcements under review and will keep you posted via the ECF website.
