Damian managed a win against Christopher last night in the final round of the club champs and scooped a fist full of club rating points in the process. As a consequence he has leapfrogged up the rankings reaching the lofty grade of rook, having been a knight previously. With Damian moving up to position 9 on the rankings board several other members have been pushed down a grade. Not too too many rating points separate the large mass of players in the middle of the pack however, and with a number of quick fire tournaments coming up over the next few weeks there is plenty of opportunity to improve your club rating and club ranking.

Thanks for the write-up Ian. I can’t say I am all that confident of remaining a Rook once we move to the quick-fire stuff but time will tell.
