Horsham Chess Club

Several Horsham players have been in action in local (and not so local) congresses recently. Melusi, Paul, Dave and I have all tried our hand at some weekend chess...

A relatively short journey for an away match at last! Horsham 2 put up a good fight but the score currently stands at 3-1 against us with one game to resolve.

Horsham 1 hosted Crowborough 1 last night and despite a strong visiting lineup including two of Sussex's best juniors, Horsham prevailed without conceding a game. Phil was acting captain in Dix's absence and there were two subs in the form of Mike and myself promoted to cover for James and Dix.
