The 4 Nations Chess League Division 1 is the highest British team league. The 2017-2018 season is taking place at various places including Solihull, Northampton and Telford. The league is divided into two pools of eight teams. After seven rounds, the top four teams in each pool qualify for the Championship Pool. A qualifying team carries forward the results of matches against the other teams that qualified for the Championship pool, and plays only the qualifying teams from the other pool.
Time control: the players receive 100 minutes for the first 40 moves, followed by 50 minutes for the rest of the game, plus a 30-second increment starting from move one.
