rules for Transfer will be made available on the night - one main rule
is that discussion of the position with your team-mate is definitely
permitted!

The event was cut to 4 rounds (2 per night) due to overwhelming

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.
