League & cup Fixtures

Penrith Chess Club currently runs two teams in the Cumbria Open League, though we have had as many as four. We also usually enter two teams in the Whitaker Handicap Trophy and from time to time, the Northern Counties Chess Union Competition.

 

Cumbria Open League

Cumbria Chess Association runs two leagues; the Open League and the South League which is played on weekday evenings. Penrith teams play in the Cumbria Open League. Each team consists of 3  players (4 if both captains agree). Matches are scheduled for Saturdays but can be played on any day of the week, depending on the arrangements made by the teams taking part. The time allowed for each game is normally 2 hours per player for all moves for afternoon matches or 1 hour and 30 minutes per player in evening matches. League points are awarded as follows: 3 for a team win; 1 for a draw and 0 for a loss.

Fixtures

League and Whitaker matches must be played prior to, or up to 5 weeks and 2 days after, the dates shown on the original fixture list. When a fixture date has been agreed, it will be shown in blue and the start time displayed too. We play away to red teams.
Please check these fixtures regularly as they can and often do, change (watch this space).
Sadly, due to lack of entrants, the Team Rapidplay has been postponed until the end of the season.
