24th Cheshire Go Tournament

Saturday 2nd March 2024

Frodsham Community Centre, Fluin Lane, Frodsham, Cheshire, WA6 7QN

The Cheshire Go Tournament is being held again in 2024 at Frodsham Community Centre.

Format

All players will compete in a three-round McMahon tournament to determine the Cheshire Open Go Champion.

Time Limits

We are planning to use Fischer Time on electronic clocks. The basic time will be 30 minutes per player, but you get an extra 10 seconds for each move you play. If your time runs out you lose - you are guaranteed at least 10 seconds to think on each move.

Prizes

Prizes will be awarded to the winner and those winning three games. Other prizes at the organiser's discretion.

Entry Fees

If you are not a member of the BGA, or of a foreign Go association, and not at your first tournament, add £5.

Refreshments

Coffee, tea and soft drinks will be available. Frodsham has several eating places for lunch time and there in a general store in the road opposite the Centre, or bring a packed lunch.

Location

Frodsham can be reached via the M56. Leave at Junction 12, following signs to the A56 and continue on into Frodsham. Fluin Lane is the B5152 and runs south from the A56, immediately left after a footbridge over the road. There are signs to the Community Centre, which is on the right. There is a large free car park.

Frodsham station is on the line between Manchester and North Wales, half way between Warrington (11 minutes) and Chester (13 minutes), and on the new Liverpool - Chester service via Runcorn. On a Saturday services arrive on both routes in time for the event (for example late in 2023 08:44 from Piccadilly arrives 09:30; 09:47 from Lime Street arrives 10:15).

Turn right at the bottom of the station approach, turn right again and bear east along the High Street for 500m and turn right into Fluin Lane. A shorter route is to exit the south side and turn left across the car park to the sloping path at the far end. Follow this path straight on into a close called Blue Hatch which has the Community Centre on its right.
