From all involved with the WCCF : Nadolig Llawen a Blwyddyn Newydd Dda

Russell Sherwood  Tuesday, December 17, 2019

We have been invited to nominate players for three of the German Invitational events of 2020. If you meet the required rating (or expect to), are Welsh flagged and a Welsh premium member

In 2020 BdF is organising several invitational tournaments. They will start on 19 June 2020, but it is planned to bring the tournaments onto the server already at the beginning of April 2020.

I am pleased to invite players from your federation to the following tournaments.

The events are typically between 13 and 17 players and utilise traditional time controls, typically 10/50

If you are interested get in touch at [email protected]
