    Probably not the best question to be posing when there's an orange weather warning in place. :)

    I think the weather is probably too changeable here - especially now that it's autumn - for a chess game, let alone a full weekender. I think some games have been played outdoors at the Drogheda weekender, but only when it was really splitting the rocks. You need to be a bit lucky to pull it off; I don't think you could arrange it at less than a week's notice.

    Why not just finish the leagues on Lichess? The LCU ran a few online leagues recently on Lichess and they seemed to run very well. To preempt the cheating argument, I think it’s just as easy to cheat at an OTB match by using your phone if you are so inclined. Also I think the various online chess sites have systems in place to detect cheating. In any event I think the tiny minority that would possibly cheat will do it no matter what the format.

    It's not true that it's just as easy to cheat in an over-the-board match unfortunately.

    4NCL did some stats into their recent 4NCL online tournament and found suspicious performances were much higher than usual (compared to the regular 4NCL) for example.

    Plus - is there really a need to finish the leagues that urgently? They can't start up again anyway. If people want to play online leagues, they can - the 4NCL online, the recent Hibernian Online league (which may return), club events, etc.

    Might sound ridiculous, but if the forecast is good would an outdoor venue be an option to avoid the 6 person limit?

    Outdoor limit is 15.
    So no point going down that route.
