LDCL Blitz Tournament

Published on: 15 -04-2026

The annual LDCL Blitz tournament will take place on Wednesday 6th May, at Solihull's venue.

It is always a very special night, and we'd love to see as many players as possible from across our clubs, taking part.

The tournament will this year consist of ECF Blitz rated games, played at 3 + 2 and we will try and get in as many rounds as we can, while also allowing for some breaks.

No need to pre-register, but please arrive by 7.15 latest on the night to register, for a prompt 7.30 start.

The entry fee is £2. All money to be returned as prizes. There will be prizes for those who place 1st, 2nd and 3rd, as well as two further rating prizes (and trophies) so everyone has something to play for, regardless of strength.
