Huddersfield Grosvenor Rapidplay - 29th April 2012
Huddersfield Chess Club
Formed in 1852, the Huddersfield Chess Club is one of the longest running clubs in England and is still a very active club supporting all levels of player.
The Club meets every week running many internal tournaments with trophies to play for. Teams are entered in to the Yorkshire League, the HDCA League and the Calderdale League so there is plenty of playing opportunities for all members.
Coaching is also available through our training days with Nigel Davies GM.
For juniors, there is the Huddersfield Junior Chess Club who meet  every week during school term times.
The Club also runs a 3 day Congress, Rapidplay and Blitz tournaments during the year.
Huddersfield Chess Club’s 160th year tournament

The Club is celebrating its 160th year by holding a one day Rapidplay on Sunday 29th April 2012.
The event is sponsored by the Huddersfield Grosvenor Casino where it will be held
Details are as follows:-
Ÿ
£1000 guaranteed first prize
Ÿ
£100 grading prizes for every 20 entries
Ÿ
£10  entry fee
Ÿ
6 round accelerated swiss tournament

The small print .....
Unfortunately NO juniors allowed due to casino rules and for security purposes entrants must also become a member of the casino but there are no obligations and membership can be cancelled after the event - joining only requires proof of age with photo ID (e.g. passport or drivers licence) and can be quickly done on the day!
New Club Night
Our new Club night of  Fridays at the Ukrainian Club is so far proving to be having the desired effect with attendance levels being far higher. The main Club now meet from 7.30pm after the juniors who meet from 6:30 - 8:00pm.
