Dear Club Secretaries and Organisers (as many emails as I
could find!),
The County season is upon us once more.
As per previous seasons, Yorkshire are entering teams in the u1450s,
u1650s, u1850s, u2050s and Open team, with the first set of fixtures to
complete. A top two finish is needed to get into the national stages.
Please note it is your grading as of the
start of September. For example, if on the 1st September
your grade was 1449, then you can play the u1450s and above. If 1452
then it would be the u1650s and above.

We are now looking to raise teams for the
season, with the first match expected to be in November. The 1850s
and Open team will be playing at Swinton vs Greater Manchester, with the
rest of the teams hosting Manchester (venue and date TBC but it will be
November).
Could you please pass this email on to your
player base and anyone who wants to play for the County, please
contact info@yorkshirechess.com.
Anyone who wants to play in the under
1450s, please contact me direct as well at holmfirthtiger@proton.me
The county chess experience is fantastic.
I look forward to meeting you during the coming season.
Kind regards,
Steve Westmoreland
YCA Deputy President
U1450s Captain
