om...
Can anyone please tell me if there are any good tournaments coming up
in U.K.
I would prefer open tournaments. Also, if there are any upcoming
tournaments with team events. Since me and my team members will be
touring U.K. in November can you tell me if there are any such
tournaments in November or December. Also, if there are any good
websites which will carry such information about tournaments in U.K.
and Europe in general.

Thanking You,

Chessplayer
