The ECF is accepting entries for the 2022 UK Open Blitz Championships. As in previous years there will be 8 one-day regional qualifiers at venues across the UK with the first event in Cardiff on bank holiday Monday 29th August and further events over the next two weekends (3rd/4th September and 10th/11th September). Each qualifier event will be a 15-round blitz tournament open to all, to decide who makes it through to the open and women’s finals. The finals will be held as 16 player all-play-all competitions at a central location at the start of December with the winners becoming UK Blitz and UK Women’s Blitz Champions for 2022/2023.
The qualifier events will be open to all and will be ECF and FIDE blitz rated.
