Christmas 2015
Thank you all for the cards and presents. Below is a picture of the handmade chocolate chess set from Theo.
The Xmas Term junior tournament was split into two sections with Liam picking up the 1st place trophy for the over 30 graded section with Suriya collecting the runner-up trophy. Grace and Giovanni were just outside the prizes.
The Challengers section was clearly won by fitrst time trophy winner Elliott Hookway on 19 points with 5 players; Rafe, Izzy, Reece, Amir and Theo all in equal second on 14 points and picking up medals.
Elliott for the highest score overall also gets his name on and holds until Easter the Regency Chess Board.
In the 2015 Senior Club Rapidplay Championship Semi-Finals
Amardip played two games at 25 minutes plus 5 second increments against myself and has now truly graduated from the junior club with distinction by winning both games.
This was despite the fact that in the first game he went into an ending a pawn down after being surprised by my Kieseritsky Gambit. His strong play under time pressure easily compensating for the pawn disadvantage.
Well done Amardip who now has the small task of playing 1st Team Captain Peter Kemp in the Final.
