Essex Chess Leagues

Welcome to the results reporting and display service for the Essex Chess League incorporating the U1650 Essex Chess Minor League under the auspices of the Essex Chess Association. Visit our website for information about the Association and our activities at https://www.essexchess.org.uk/

All divisions and the Minor League for the 2024/25 season will be on an all play all, home and away basis.

League Rules: 2024-2025 Season
The ECA Rules Compendium for 2024-25 is published. This includes both the Essex League Rules and the Minor League Rules and is available via the following link:
Essex League Rules (C19) 2024-25

This 2024-25 version of the League Rules still bears the “(C19)” covid mark, but brings back in a number of the previous full set “pre-covid” Rules as the first stage of reintroducing the full pre-covid provisions. In any event, the League Rules have developed in a number of ways since covid, so there will be changes – natural evolution – during recent seasons which will be retained.
