Round 2 of World Chess League is approaching!!!
Dear Members,
We are excited to announce that the World Chess League Round 2 is taking place on next Saturday, and our team is participating! Our second match will take place at 18:00 against the North Staffordshire Knights.
Registration starts 1 hour before the match via the following link:

Please note that the number of players on our team will match the number of players fielded by the opposing team. In communication we had with the opposing team we agreed to try to compete each team with 8 athletes. If more of our members are logged in at the time, player selection will be based on chess.com Elo ratings. Each player will face their opponent twice—once with white pieces and once with black.
We are also delighted to announce that Chess.com have very kindly agreed that all WCL players that do not already have premium account can receive a free 3-month trial diamond membership via the following link!
