During your correspondent's extended break, Horsham 3 powered to two more comprehensive wins.
Argumentatives 1.5 -- 3.5 Horsham. Wins on top and bottom boards and three draws secured our
victory. Despite being outgraded on the top 3 boards, Roy Page won a fine game against Peter Farr (179), Chris Heath easily held Jim Graham (166) and Nick Warren drew with Paul Kington (152).

…. going out of your door. You step into the Road, and if you don't keep your feet, there is no knowing where you might be swept off to”.
So the next stop on Horsham 5’s MSL Division 3 world tour… Haywards Heath on a very cold February night.
Matthew, on top board, having eaten three shredded wheat, decided to finish his game a little earlier than normal. He did - around 9:00pm – but with an identical result. A win for him and for us on top board. We were on our way.
Horsham 2 travelled down to title holders Brighton 1 yesterday and put in a creditable performance against a strong team...
A report on behalf of Dix, seeing as I played in this one. Horsham 1 continue their winning ways at the expense of Hastings 1...
Well, it slipped my mind to post a report of this one (played 23rd Jan vs Crowborough 1) so here is a short summary of what I can remember...

But more of that later…..
So yesterday evening (3 February) brought Horsham 5 “to the turn and heading for home” and to the first of our three remaining MSL fixtures in Division 3 - all of which must be completed by the end of the month. I can now see why Mourinho complains about fixture congestion at this time of the season.
So first up a home game against East Grinstead 1. Although strong opponents across all boards we were calm and focused, buoyed up by the fact that we had all (slightly) improved our grades in January.

Just a quick reminder that there is no junior chess this coming Tuesday 20th, we are back the week after. See you then...

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.
