The EFCC is a proud member of the ICCF representing England.
Olympiads & European Championships
By far the most important CC Championships run by the ICCF are the World Team Championships between National federations (known as Olympiads) and the European Team Championships. Both events usually consist of Preliminary sections followed by Finals. The EFCC seeks to put out its strongest possible teams in these very important events.
Other Team Tournaments
From time to time, other Team tournaments are arranged for specific events or circumstances and England always participate. In recent times, we have entered teams in the European Under 2300 Team tournament, the Radosztics Memorial Team Tournament and the Witold Bielecki Team tournament.
ICCF for Individual Players
The EFCC offers support & encouragement to all our players to enter & fully participate in ICCF tournaments. These consist of World Championships, World Cups, Veterans World Cups, Opens, Title Norm tournaments, Promotion tournaments, Thematic tournaments and much more. Being able to play in International tournaments from the comfort of your own home is one of the biggest advantages of playing CC!
