Congresses

At the recent Hampshire Congress (3rd-5th November) several Horsham players were successful and some even came away with the spoils...

The Guildford FIDE Congress was held over the weekend at the University of Surrey campus. It was a very impressive competition, superbly well organised and highly recommended to all.

We all put put on solid performances - Ian Comley and Phil Stimpson scored 3/5, Rob McDonald and Bob Lanzer 2.5/5, Jordy Savill 2/5.

A bit late reporting this but congratulations to Matthew C for winning the Challengers section of the most recent Crowborough Rapidplay on 25th Feb with 5/6. Dad Andy scored 2 points in the same section whilst Ian Comley scored 3/6 in the Championship section.

An excellent performance from Matthew, well done!

A reminder that there are number of competitions available to play at the Hastings Chess Tournament over the New Year. Follow the link here or look at the information on the notice board:

Some people like to go and watch the stronger players - that includes David Howell (who played in the Mid sussex Chess League in his younger days) and many other stars.
