Boards and pieces are provided but feel free to bring your own.Play is likely to start up mid-morning unless players ‘castle early’. \n•	Local Chess Club Information: Spectators and players interested in continuing their chess journey can learn more about Colchester’s vibrant chess scene\, with representatives from numerous local clubs and meetups available to provide information. \nThe running order for the day will be decided depending on the number of competitors in the Rapidplay Tournament and the timing of some optional seminars and activities.
