Club Championship
The Shrewsbury Chess Club Championship is an internal, Swiss style competition with five rounds, played over the course of the year.
The draw for the 2026 competition has now been made and round 1 pairings appear below.
All games should preferably be played over the board with a time control of 1 hour 25 minutes plus 10 second increment. However, games can be played on the LiChess website with a time control of 45 minutes plus a 15 second increment per move at players request.
Players with white should initiate the date and time for the challenge and, as in previous years, a half point incentive will be awarded for completing the game within the scheduled time slot.
Please notify the controller of your results and good luck to everyone.
