Update (19 January) - Uckfield 1 have now conceded Board 1 securing a win for Matthew and a drawn match for us....
.... So a cold, wet and dark Wednesday evening saw the Horsham 5 tour bus arrive in Uckfield for our first MSL game in Division 3 following the Christmas break. We were confident and determined to bounce back from our defeat at the hands of Eastbourne at the beginning of December. We were also quite relaxed - well I was anyway which I put down to the ongoing effects of jet lag having just flown back from Australia a few days earlier.
Amy appeared in the glossy magazine All About Horsham - AAH ...thought you might like to see if you missed it.
Hope you all had fantastic festivities and are all charged up for tomorrows night return to chess club.
It is assigned as a Knockout / Knockout Plate evening so please arrange to play if at all possible :)
Just a quick reminder that junior chess returns this Tuesday 6th Jan at the usual time (6:25pm), see you then...
This was a particularly clever entry..
For those members who were unable to attend the Christmas Tree Festival, here is a visual taste. In addition to those shown, there were trees in the front foyer, all down both sides of the church and others in the lounge, making a most attractive impression overall, which was worthy of the major efforts to which the contributing groups had clearly gone There was a goodly number of visitors, indicating a worthwhile benefit to the Action for Children charity.
...more pictures to follow...

Horsham had a convincing victory away at Haywards Heath in the preliminary round of the Paul Watson Trophy last night, winning 4-0. This competition is for teams of 4 players with an average grading of 150 or less.
The games finished in Board number order ! On Board 1, Peter defended precisely with the black pieces against a sacrificial attack and emerged a rook up for two pawns and his opponent duly resigned. I was assisted by my opponent’s reluctance to castle which lead to him giving up the exchange in order to get his king to safety.
