Well Done to Fred Clough who won The WSTT/7/13/F, WSTT/7/13/Final –

Sicilian, Portsmouth Gambit, Tournament by a country mile.

All this in spite of being the lowest graded player in the final.

The British Championship (BCCC) has been running annually for 95 years but this coming season marks of the beginning of a new collaboration between the English, Scottish & Welsh Federations. The competition has been made more attractive by the possibility of playing for ICCF Title Norms, including the new ICCF Correspondence Chess Expert (CCE) and Correspondence Chess Master (CCM) titles, so we hope that as many players from Wales as possible will enter.
 
The BCCC consists of a Final, a Candidates tournament and numerous Reserve tournaments all played on the ICCF server. See “Tables & Results” – “National Tournaments” – “England” – “British Championships” for previous & ongoing events which will give you a flavour of what to expect; players at all levels are encouraged to enter and we are hoping that even the candidates sections will carry CCE or CCM norms. The Entry Fee is £10.00 and you can pay online at the EFCC website http://iccfengland.org (BCCA members have the option of paying via their BCCA Membership Renewal form or online at the BCCA website: www.bccachess.org) The full rules of the BCCC are available here: www.iccfengland.org/bccc-bccc/bccc-rules
 
All entries must be received by August 31 at the latest. The competition will get underway in September.
 
Any queries please contact Phill Beckett; [email protected]
 
We look forward to receiving your entries!
