This year we will continue to NZCF- and FIDE-rate as many events as
possible. This applies to the Lightning Championship, all the legs of
the Rapid Championship, and all the standard-rate events, ie Summer Cup,
Autumn and Spring Tournaments, and the Club Championships. Players MUST
be paid-up members of the North Shore Chess Club in order to take part
(yes, it is OK to be a member of other clubs in addition). Players who
are not NZ residents or citizens must have FIDE ID from their home
country.
In 2023 the following will still apply:
If you have had Covid recently, then we recommend that you do not
return to chess club until your RAT test is negative. Let's keep
everybody safe.
Masks are still required for everybody at the club.
