The Chandler’s Ford Chess Club Ladder Tournament 2022-23 is organised by Rob Sims.
Players may challenge up to 4 places above their own step. The time control for the games is 90 minutes for each player. The challenger has the white pieces. For the full Rules, see below.
The latest Ladder positions are shown in the table below.
The chess Ladder will run until 12th September 2023.
As usual I have ranked players in reverse order based on the October ECF grades.
Please take a moment to read the rules which are attached as I have made some changes to help increase movement on the Ladder and encourage people to challenge others as and when possible. I’d like to thank Keith for making suggestions and letting me see how the Fareham Club organise their ladder.
Best wishes
Rob Sims

Ladder Tournament 2022-23 Rules
- Initial positions on the ladder are determined in order of grade.
- All games to be played on the clock, which will be set at 90 minutes each and played to a finish.
- You may challenge anyone who is one, two, three, or four places above you on the ladder.
- A challenge cannot be made more than 7 days ahead of a game. Once a challenge is accepted neither the challenger nor the player being challenged may make or accept another challenge.
- The player making the challenge plays white. The person being challenged plays black.
- You can email challenges to your eligible opponents in advance, but it won’t count as a loss if your opponent is unable to play for any reason.
- If the lower ranked player wins, the lower ranked player takes the higher ranked player’s position on the ladder, and the higher ranked player moves down one place.
- If the higher ranked player wins, there is no change in the players’ rankings.
- If the game ends in a draw, the lower ranked player takes the position just below the higher ranked player.
- After a ladder game is played, at least one of the players must play a ladder game against someone else before they can play each other again.
- Please report all results of games to me and I will submit them to ECF for grading purposes. The top three players on Tuesday 12th September 2023 will play off to decide the eventual winner. Players in second and third place play each other, and the winner plays the player in first place.
