Russell Sherwood  Monday, July 22, 2024

All,

The time has now come to review ICCF Rule change proposals for Congress

https://www.iccf.com/Proposals.aspx?id=78

WCCF Premium members please review the list and let me know your views ( For or Against). If you have any strong views on any please let me know and this will be added to the spreadsheet.

For those involved we will then review and debate until a common view is achieved.

It is important this year that we get maximum input as there are some "interesting" proposals this year, which could have significant implications.

Out of interest - my own initial view has 21 for and 11 against!

Closing date for Input 31/7/24

Send your input to Russell Sherwood

British Correspondence Chess Championship 2024-26

Russell Sherwood  Friday, June 21, 2024

The British Correspondence Chess Championship (BCCC) is the premier tournament on the British CC calendar.  Running continuously since 1921 and open to all British players, the BCCC has carried ICCF title norms since 2016.  The BCCC caters for players of all levels and consists of a Championship section, one or more Candidate sections and a number of Reserve sections.

The BCCC is organized jointly by the English Federation for Correspondence Chess (EFCC), the Scottish Correspondence Chess Association (ScoCCA) and the Welsh Correspondence Chess Federation (WCCF).

Further details of the tournament, including the full rules and a list of previous winners, are available on the WCCF website:

Entries close on 31st August 2024 with play due to commence in September 2024.  Entries can be made directly to the Tournament Organizer, Russell Sherwood or via your national federations.  Please note that these are the only entry routes for this event. This event should not be confused with the William Mason Championship

The BCCC is a highly competitive event, and we are unable to confirm a player's final allocation at the time of entry.  Entries and the entry fee of £12 should be received  Russell Sherwood, no later than 30th August 2024.  If you have a qualification to a specific division, please state this at the time of entry.

If you have any enquiries, please direct them to Russell Sherwood, whose email address is [email protected]
