It’s not a complete substitute for OTB games but online play has taken off with many players keen to maintain their skills. There are several events taking place with information available in the CS news list, the calendar and the Forum.

In rated online “live” events such as Leagues, Rapidplay and Blitz it is of course not allowed to use any outside assistance such as chess engines or books during the game. Players can be banned from that particular platform if deemed to have used an engine. So please keep to a fair play policy so that all moves, good or bad, are purely your own.

We may have some online International events coming up and if players have been banned from the platforms they are taking place on, we will not be able to select them.  Please heed this advice!
