Blackthorne on tour

I shall be away with my 4NCL team at the European Club Cup 2024 in Vrnjacka Banja, Serbia from Sunday 20th thru Saturday 26th October.

We are currently  seeded 49th from 84 teams so a tasty Round 1 pairing should be forthcoming.

The full list of teams and players can be found at the below link and the results will subsequently appear here as well.

If anyone gets really bored then I’d assume the games will be broadcast live somewhere  … Chess.Com, Lichess etc

Chess-Results Server Chess-results.com – 39th European Chess Club Cup

Some pretty monster teams, as you can see, top seeds “Superchess” averaging a mere 2730 🙂-

This is, I think, our 7th sortie into Europe and they do like their far-flung corners of Eastern europe : Bulgaria, Macedonia and Albania having been some of the previous locations. Hopefully we won’t have to contend with a mass outbreak of food poisoning and gangs of roaming wild dogs that Albania offered us last year !
