4NCL News
The 4th 4NCL Online Congress (15-17 Jan 2021) attracted a record entry of 229, no doubt due to the introduction of a new section for the U1400s. Its success has encouraged 4NCL into hastily arranging a similar event in February, this time with a further new section for the U1100s.
So the 5th 4NCL Online Congress, will be held on Fri-Sun 19-21 February, 5 rounds, time control 45+15. Sections: Open, U2000, U1700, U1400, U1100. Entries now open. Website: http://www.4ncl.co.uk/index.htm
That event is not to be confused with the 4NCL Spring Congress, which is a completely separate happening. This is held over 7 rounds on Tuesday evenings at fortnightly intervals. Round 1 is on Tuesday 2 February at 7.30 pm. Time control 45+15. Sections: Open, U2000, U1700, U1400. Entries now open. Website: http://www.4ncl.co.uk/index.htm
