Holcombe Handicap

This knockout tournament will commence after Easter and last for 3/4 months. A time handicap is calculated depending on grade difference. This enables players, of different strengths, to hopefully have more of an even game.
It is a light-hearted tournament. The results of each game are not sent for grading. However Charles Holcombe has kindly offered a prize of £75 for the winner and £25 for the runner-up.
It is a knockout tournament and therefore players who enter, must be prepared to complete their games by a definite date.
A list for names is on the club noticeboard, or if one wishes one may enter by sending me an email.
Closing date for entry is Thursday 5th April.
