We are currently looking for someone to represent the Club in this competition.

This is an individual knock-out tournament open to all Chess Scotland clubs.  Matches are played at evenings or weekends at the home player’s club or home, or a neutral venue.  There can be signficant travel involved.

The MacIsaac is for club champions, or failing that, a club member graded at least 1850.  This season the club champion has declined to participate so we are  extending the invitation to  the wider membership.  If you would like to represent the club in  this competition please let me know by 26th October.
