Alan Burns Grand Prix starts on December 11th
This series of tournaments is named after one of NICS founding members, Alan Burns. Alan loved his chess and we all appreciated and enjoyed his brilliant company.
The first Lackadaisical is intended as the start of a series of rapidplays organised through the season at irregular intervals. A prize fund will be offered at each event with a portion of entrance fees being held back and offered as prizes at the Grand Prix event finale.
With the benefit of digital clocks (borrowed from the UCU), a time control of 20m + 5s will be set with the object of each game running down to a proper conclusion rather than timing out.
Summary event details are:
- Date: 11th December
- Registration: 13:00pm
- Venue: Maynard Sinclair Pavilion, Belfast
The Pavilion has an excellent restaurant
