The Fred Day Cup is the county individual tournament for players associated with the Bucks League. Fred was a stalwart of Buckinghamshire chess performing many roles, not least as a former controller of the Bucks Individual Championship.

This is an all-play-all standard play competition and, as usual, entries will be divided between sections of at least six and typically not more than ten players.

Free Entry in 2024!

Applications are now invited for this season’s County Individual Tournament which is open to all players who are affiliated to the Bucks County Chess Association (BCCA).

The rules are available at FDC_rules

Results will be maintained and published using the ECF League Management System (LMS). The link will be published before the tournament begins. All games will be submitted to the ECF for grading.

As the competition has not run for some years, entries will be free of charge (for this season only). Entrants should be members of the English Chess Federation otherwise you may have to “pay to play”.

There is no complicated entry form because no-one enjoys completing them and I have no wish to collect unnecessary personal data. All I need is three things:

  1. Your name
  2. ECF grading reference (else FIDE id). If you have neither, just advise me of your club name
  3. Contact details (email address or phone number)

Entries by email should reach me (Dave Turner) no later than Saturday, 9th November.
