Last club night for the year next week. We will have casual chess, or a small Swiss if members want
Archive for November, 2017
Eushin can be very proud of winning his first full six round club swiss. His chess playing ability is going from strength to strength. He now sits at the top of the club ladder, and ranks 5th highest in the club at 1632, and will no doubt show a further rise in 2018
Eushin has joined the top echelon of the club coming first in a full six round swiss

Next week we will start the first of 2 Spring Cups. Please if you want to be in, make a commitment to be there for both nights. The time control will be 20+0, 3 games per night, over 2 nights. We will have two solid hours of chess, so kick off will be as soon as the draw is done. Dont be late. Guests and non-members are welcome to come along and join in.
The club welcomes Alex as its newest member. Alex has played 11 eligible games so far and enters the ratings table on 1452. Welcome Alex.
The plan was for 2 games at 4 +2, 2 at 8 + 2, and 2 at 12 + 2. In the end it took a little longer than we thought so ended up as 2 at 4 + 2 and the remainder at 8 + 2. Prashant was victorious at 5.5 out of 6. Spring cup starts next week
