Numbers were a little light this week . Rounds 4  5 and 6 of the Spring Cup next week — it is not too late to join in. Remember your club needs you to show some commitment and turn up.

Last nights crosstables are below. We ran the competition in two divisions, with Graham achieving a perfect 7 in the Open grade, and Jeff leading on 5.5 in the Juniors. Total competition points across the two nights mean that Graham is Club Lightning Champion for 2015 on 12 points, with Jeff Club Junior Lightning Champion 2015 on 9. Spring Cup next week. See you there

If you have been thinking about coming along for a look then next week 10 November at 7pm is a good place to start. We will have an evening of lightning chess, 7 games at time control 3 minutes plus 2 second increment per move from move one.  We will have a slower format the following week; guests welcome then as well. Come along and join in the fun.

Lightning round 1 last night. Round 2 next week. The title of Club Lightning champion 2015 will go to the player with the highest cumulative score across the 2 weeks. If there is a tie then tie break points will be added from week 1 and week 2 and used to determine the title holder.
