Team Scotland Chess Ladder

What is a chess ladder?

It’s simply a never ending competition between Team Scotland group members. Players can join at any time. Players can challenge other players up to three positions higher than their current ranking. If the lower player wins, then the two players swap ladder positions.

The purpose of this ladder is for group members to get to know other members and to have some fun playing chess.

How do I join?

Simply post your interest on this topic and your will be notified when you have been added to the table. New players are placed on the existing ladder at the bottom and have to work thier way up. To play a challenge game just follow the procedure outlined in the rules posted below.
