New Candidate Master – Les Ellis

BCCA member Les Ellis has won Players Tourney Quartet 4/51 taking his total of Candidate Master (CM) points past 20. So Les is awarded the BCCA Candidate Master Title. As Les won the BCCA Master (BM) Title earlier this year he becomes the first BCCA player to hold both Titles.

BCCA v CCLA (Australia)

I am seeking to raise a BCCA team to play CCLA of Australia on the webserver. This will be a friendly match for medium & low-rated players (nobody above 1950 rating) or players with no rating just yet but who may fit into this category in future. Everybody who wants to play should get two good games against an opponent of similar strength. There is no fee. Please let me know if you wish to play as soon as possible (within 2 weeks please) & we will hopefully get the match going late August/early September.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Best Wishes,
Neil Limbert
