B.S.C.C. The Bishop's Stortford Chess Club
Internal Competitions
The Club Championship
The 'Bishops Stortford Club Championship' is an internal competition, but these games are graded. Like the Champions league, the start is the group phase. With 4 to a team, first positions will go through to the semi finals of the Cup, while the runners up will go through to the semis of the Plate.
Dont forget to play all your group matches by the end of February!
(See link for Rules and groups).
Rules & Update:
The Hewitt Cup
The Hewitt Cup is our ungraded internal competition which gives you points just for turning up! All members and newcomers are automatically entered (unless they request otherwise) and matches may be arranged with any other club member. The Leyn Cup is awarded for the highest number of points obtained by someone in the lower half of the (grade ordered) table. Because results don’t affect grades, it is an excellent introduction to competitive chess for newcomers and, for existing members, a good way of “trying things out”.
The 2017/18 competition is getting exciting!

Consultation Match
The idea behind this is to play play 1 game between two even teams. The idea being that, through open discussion, ideas and plans can be openly discussed, allowing lesser mortals to learn from higher graded players.
