Horsham Chess Club

The league season started with a narrow victory for Horsham 1 over Horsham 2 last Tuesday...

Just a quick note to confirm that the junior club is back on 1st February as Mike is not available until then.

I exchange Christmas cards with HCC honourary life member Dick Newman, here is his message to club members...

More coverage of Phil Stimpson's successes...

(Photo credit: Brendan O'Gorman) Current club champion Phil had a great return to over-the-board tournaments by finishing equal third in the over-65 section of the British Senior Championships...

After a couple of second place finishes in earlier online MSL competitions, Horsham emerged victorious in the Summer Swiss...

It was great to see everyone back playing competitive chess last night . While most were playing in the Quickplay there was even the first Rook game taking place.

Above all it was great to see competitive chess returning for the first time in too long!

Discussions are ongoing to see if the junior club can return in some form in October. I will email parents when more detail is known.

You will all have seen Anthony's email about the AGM on Tuesday 7 September, back in our normal hall at the church hall.

It will be good to be back properly - see you there...

Its official - we are returning to club chess on Mondays for August. So we will be meeting Monday 2, 9, 16 and 23... no chess on the Bank Holiday on the 30th.

Really looking forward to meeting up again in the club ... but remember that the car park behind the club is not available due to the temporary Covid test centre :)
