Novotel Edinburgh Park


We'll be taking a trip to play in the Edinburgh Park Congress. The entry fees are £38 for classical - £12 for Blitz (£8 if playing in standard as well)

There will be nine rounds of Blitz (3+2) on the Friday evening from 19.00 to 21.30. On Saturday and Sunday there will be rated Standard (i.e. classical) games, the time control will be 60+30 with a format of 5 round Swiss. More info on the link below. This is also the weekend before week 6, so you’ll have time to recover afterwards!

You can find more info and register for the event here.

If you've never played in an over the board tournament or are rated under 1600, we'd strongly recommend you participate in the under Minor/U1600 section.

Please note, you'll need to be FIDE registered to play in the event, please check out our guide on becoming FIDE registered for free.

Let us know if you're registered and will be coming on our Discord!
